here is my post in toms hardware:

here is the text if you dont want to go to toms hardware lol:
 

I got a case off fb market, in great condition, ladies son used to build for fun and he moved away and left some stuff behind. got it for 10 bucks.
its a dual chamber, but i cannot find ANY branding anywhere, the only thing stamped is on the rear saying " made in china"

it's very solid though, doesn't feel like a completely budget case.

Happy solving and thanks to anyone who gets it.

someone on the thread thinks riotoro may have sourced the chassis from a company that went out of business.
Ive messaged and talked to riotoro and they are looking to see if thats what it is because they dont know this case either.

ill say, it was a dram to build in for my sons computer.

you can tell though its not build for newer video cards,
i nthe newegg picture it shows a fan on the windowed side panel, but ifound that there is barely enough clearance for the r7 370 i put into it, maybe 1/2" between the video card heat pipe and the ventilation.

.5 inch is about the thickness of a scythe slipstream, if you can measure and get exacts to see if one would fit (if that's your goal to fit a fan there)

^What he said. 

 

When doing recommendations I often shop around on sites like PCPartPicker and newegg, and I'll occasionally come across cases that stand out to me like the Riotoro CR1080 (now the 1088) and cases that appear similar like this Apevia. Which in all honestly, this case stood out to me when people ask for pink cases as there's very few of those on the market. I definitely dont think I would have found it as easily as I did without the last couple of years of case browsing, as it's generally pretty buried under most parametric filters on websites.
