Not sure what you're seeing, but when I try to load that eBay tells me it's already ended.

If by "perfect" you mean dirt cheap, as that's the only thing I care about here.

Only barely under $40, and while they may have free shipping to the US I'm pretty sure I'd still have to pay the import tarrifs. And honestly, if I'm going to go for a ~$40+ case I'll just get an M350 locally. Yeah I know about the M350. If there was a cheaper version that didn't have the drive...

Sorting through my junk drawer, I came across what appear to be two ATX DC-DC boards from some company called "migrus". I don't mess with bare open frame DC-DC boards much, I have no memory of what these are or where I got them. The first long skinny board is labeled "Ver.C C4-CT-DC150L", and...

Dude, if I had access to a laser cutter and a bunch of materials I would've just built a box myself a week ago. -_-

Thanks guys for the thoughts on a testbench frame but I can't use that. I need something that fully covers the board. (Otherwise I would've just gone dumpster diving and grabbed the motherboard tray out of someone's ATX tower). I live in a small city apartment and don't have a bunch of drills...

How much less if it's just bare metal? :) In all seriousness though, that's out of my price range (which is what I was expecting). I'm basically looking for something almost disposable that's cheaper than a new case sold retail. I live in a small city apartment and don't have a workshop with a...

Question: what is the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel dirt cheapest you can go on price for a case? I have an ITX board that will run headless, boot off a usb stick, and uses a picoPSU (which I already have). I don't care about PCI slots or SSD mounts or PSU mounts or fan mounts or basically...

Believe me I've thought about that a lot, but I don't think I have the equipment to do it properly. The computer does need to survive being knocked around for a year or two so just zip-tying it into a cigar box isn't really an option (or at least, not one that will last). I don't have any metal...

I saw that one. It's probably a good deal for what it is but I really don't need a freaking slimline DVD drive slot and all that jazz for this build. I was hoping to find something more primitive for cheaper. Yeah unfortunately. Aliexpress looks awesome until you realize that that $13 case...

(New user, found this forum after a bunch of googling. Not sure if I should be posting this here or the 'General' section or the 'Custom cases' section. Feel free to redirect me). I have an ancient ITX board I'm repurposing as a headless controller for a project. I need a small cheap case to...
