Default Help me find a case

Hello all,

I am looking to get a small computer case, similar to the one used for this project: http://mini-itx.com/projects/tera-itx/.

I HAVE found some, but they are all external SATA enclosures, and are more than $125.... I am looking for a CHEAP, GENERIC case, with 3 - 4 EXTERNAL 5.25" bays. It doesn't need an external 3.5" bay. The form factor doesn't matter, cause the motherboard will be a mini ITX board, custom mounted.... Doesn't need a power supply either.

I have looked and looked, but haven't been able to find any suitable cases for under $25 - $50....

Thanks everyone.

nope, doesn't matter at all. Was hopeing or a case that is small, under 12-15 inches, and no too terribly wide... considering the HDD is practically larger than the mini-ITX motherboard... (they are 17x17 CM.)
