There is an auction on eBay right now. Set up a saved search, it seems they get listed frequently.
If you haven’t seen one in person it’s a pretty big case for a media center. I’d recommend a Fractal 304 or 804 instead.
my local microcenter had one like 8 months ago. Weird case.
I just tossed one like 3-4 months ago. Sorry man.
There’s a thermaltake cube case on Amazon for 60
Currently sitting in my closet with parts from old build still installed?
I remember wanting to buy this at frys a few years ago, but the thing was pretty big.

Exceedingly rare these days to find it and you’d have to unfortunately scour Ebay and Facebook marketplace because afaik they’re discontinued.
HTPC Cases you CAN buy still and are actually pretty good is Silverstones GD line up of cases, the GD11 is the most similar. Front mesh panel with 3 3.5 inch drive bays which should be plenty depending. Silverstone GD08 doesn’t have the front mesh panel or official support for a radiator but it does support a lot more internal drives and also 2 external 5.25 inch drive bays in case you want optical drives for ripping and burning blu-rays (which some people do prefer)
r/htpc might be helpful too.
Do you have access to a time machine?
I’ve got three of them. Love the damned things.
Ah, XB Evo my beloved. It’s no longer in production, but a fantastic case. As others have said though, it is a unit. (Most of a foot tall) if anyone has questions about this case lmk.
Out of production as far as I know.
Silverstone has a huge line of HTPC cases. It’s kind of their thing: https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/computer-chassis/?filter=HTPC_Desktop
I have this one and I love it. I got mine on [Newegg](https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-haf-series-atx-desktop/p/N82E16811119265?item=N82E16811119265), though it’s out of stock ATM.
I bought mine at microcenter in 2020. I love this case and have it in my living room.
I used to have it. It’s shit.
It’s huge and the cooling sucks even with the mesh top.
Do not recommend.
