Currently in the process of acquiring a custom configured system, it arrived and I went to pick it up only to discover they had slipped a Seagate SCSI HD in instead of the agreed upon IBM, but got to see that case close up in the process of checking out components. As recommended by my AIX SE in Texas, it's an Enlight. Very, very slick. Components go into "boxes" which attach via quick release mechanisms. To work on the motherboard, one simply unplugs the attached devices, pulls down on a spring release handle and viola! The mother tips out for easy accessability. It's a Minitower because it's going in our motor coach, but things are _much_ easier to get to as compared to the full tower in my office. $30 bucks more than a "standard" box that this particular shop sells to keep prices down.
