$150.

I need to know how many are interested in black or silver before I put in the order.

actually the casing is both affordable and beautiful. but from looking at the picture, it seems that there is little ventilation. and i suspect the case is limited to motherboards with external power supplies, eg pico psu

can you provide more pictures of the rear of the casing

ok found it

seems that this would hold a mini-itx motherboard. is it possible to cut a hole on the top to mount a typical molex fan. foresee that ventilation may be a problem with this casing

The side vents has a bracket for a tiny fan to be slot in

I was recommended by the distro of zotac in singapore to bundle this mobo for the casing..

if you all want more robustness then you'd have to use this casing -







This one can support a more robust mobo with 1 PCI slot for you to use.

HDD: 1x3.5” +1x2.5’’standard hard drive bay
ODD:  A slim slot-loading optical drive
Extension Function: equipped with 1xsmall PCI
Front Interface: 2 USB + Multi-Card Reader
Cooling Devices: 1*80 x 80 x25mm fan
Dimension: 240*250*100(L x W x H)
Power Supply: optional build in DC power
Remote Controller: Optional the MCE remote control built-in IR receiver
Net Weight: 2.4KG

Slightly more - $179

Initial feedback from Dr_D with the mac mini one is that there is some problems with the alignment of the slot drive with my sample piece -

I will have to wait for more information/review from him to rectify all the problems with the manufacturer.

I've found a supplier for Panasonic UJ-875A SATA Slot in DVD Burner and also pico psu.

I'm trying to fit the entire casing + ODD + PSU for under $300.
That will be the bench mark that I've set to sell the bundle.
