I tend to collect PC cases from the early 90's they are much better made
than the cheap cases of today. Unfortunately they don't come in ATX
design. I think that's wone reason everyone is pushing towers, their
isn't much room to put heavy stuff on top. Of course another reason is
that somehow the consumer at large thinks a tower is more powerful than a
desktop. :-)
