Aha!  I don't have an SU-27 - maybe it could be African in some way or another...hmm...

I'll have to see what kind of postage it would incur - unless you want to come and get it?

Not wishing to boast but I have at least a dozen full size cases, half a dozen small format (half size cases) and a couple of laptops. Nothing very special, mainly running XP or Vista. Got them from a company that went bust recently (I knew one of the owners) basically he paid me to take them away (30 in total) to remove/destroy the data. Having run killdisk on all the drives I'm now building machines for friends and family from all the parts. Probably got a dozen good working machines out of it (5 of them the small format), the lower spec stuff is just waiting on me going down to the local dump.

So I have the cases but I'm even further away than Deathjester but, if I may ask, what do you  want precisely ? The heaviest part of the case is the PSU - I can send you a case less that if you wish but if it's just buttons and drive caddy's .... we have the technology (or a least a 5lb lump hammer).    :wacko:

im specifically after the 5.25" drive bays and the front panel blanks and maybe the wires off the psu (to extend mine if needed) i dont need the psu itself. i think thats about it

iv got a vague idea of the layout now and have started work in the monitor stand and spring the chassis bits up

So this is the current content of my car boot ..

http://imageshack.com/a/img822/4025/k0tj.jpg

9 small format ASUS P2-P5495 cases + 3 full size machines.

In the ASUS machines there are 5.25" drives that can be removed but they have a 3.5" drive welded on...

http://imageshack.com/a/img838/4923/zlsk.jpg

There are six of these, the other three are a bit bent having need to be 'persuaded' out.

The ASUS front panels don't have much in the way of buttons or blanks

http://imageshack.com/a/img69/7248/o3zw.jpg

The following are full size fronts that are available, unfortunately all the 5.25" bays are welded or rivetted into the cases

Any parts you want, let me know - I can also remove any of the wiring you may want. The only thing I can't help is with PSU extensions - unless you want to solder a few together I have no extensions (but plenty of psu's I can cut cable from).
