Arrgh! I picked up one of the translucent blue ATX cases (looks a little like 
a MacG3) a few months back. It was missing the internal hardware, but I 
figured it was no big deal - hardware is hardware. Here is a pic of the case:

Well, it turns out that this case uses PROPRIETARY hardware, most annoyingly, 
the mounting standoffs for the motherboard. Unless I can find a handful of 
these 2-cent parts, this $100.00 case is going to be a doorstop (and I 
already own plenty of those). I wrote the people at the above site, and they 
responded with "Sorry, but we cannot sell them (the parts) to you". No 
further explanation.

Does anyone know where I can get enough of these standoffs to mount the 
board? maybe from another builder that had extras?

Or plan B - could someone suggest a good case from Tran / GNS that would be 
suitable for a hardware hacker like me to build a Duron 700 system in? Will I 
*need* a 300W supply? (I plan to u/g to a 1.2 or better T-bird in a year or 
so...)

P.S. Plan B sucks.
