Not off topic as these are for a couple of HA PCs here at home but
I=92m
looking to rehouse my two EPIA motherboards so I=92m looking for cases that
fit the following criteria and wondered if anyone here had any suggestions:

=20

1)      Cheap.

2)      Should take a 3.5=94 hard disc (no need for an optical drive but
wo=
uld
be nice if it *COULD* take a 5.25=94 drive).

3)      Cheap.

4)      Small form factor =96 ideally mini tower style.

5)      Cheap

6)      Reasonably quiet running.

7)      Cheap.

8)      Must be able to get a pair of cases (so that kinda rules out ebay I
guess).

9)      Cheap.

The cases I currently use are a Maplin sourced EPIA case (which is OK but
it=92s a =93Shuttle=94 style case and is very tight for space plus it has
a=
n
annoying LCD display on the front which is absolutely pointless) and a
Cubi=
d
2699R case which is actually pretty much ideal for what I need except that
for some reason I can=92t use the network port on my EPIA board in that
cas=
e =96
I think there was an electrical noise problem with those cases or something
(plus =A360 for a case is more than I really want to spend).

=20

Any suggestions for cases / suppliers gratefully received...
