Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me identify the product name of this case. It was an old family case that my family used as a general use desktop in the early 2000s. It came originally with an Asus cube-x motherboard and an intel Pentium 3. Psu was a 135 Watt. As far as I can tell the case only has three stickers. The original windows product key, a Sterling professional workstation sticker, and a powered by Asus sticker.

Can we get a close-up of those two stickers on the front panel near the bottom?

What is actually supposed to go here? Some people put their specs, others put random comments or remarks about themselves or others, and there are a few who put cryptic statements.

You are not going to find anything on this, it's an old generic case. You will struggle to find info on a generic case from 2007, let alone one was 2000.

Thank you for helping me. I was and still am considering using it to build a new desktop as the original motherboard was an ATX so it should be workable right?

Yes the ATX standard has not changed

It's not a Generic case.   It's an Enlight.  Back in 2000, one of the best cases made.  Not sure why or how they went out of business, but it happens.

 

This one is a EN-72500SA, to be specific.  The drive bay rails were a pain to get replacements for even when this case was new in the market.  Good luck finding them today.

You wouldn’t happen to know anywhere that would sell cover panels for the bays on it?

not reccomended because of crap airflow of the old Case.

 

You have like an 80mm fan on the back and is there something on the front?

+ the fan of the PSU as well.

The PSU won't like that...
