    Question Need help finding out what case model i have

    Hi there guys, i've recently aquired a case from a friend of mine which i've put my system in, only problem is i need to get hold of a few parts that were broken.
    But to do this i need to know what model/make my case is and seeing as its either unbranded or my friend has removed the logos i cannot figure this out
    Have asked him and all he can remember is he'd bought it from overclockers.co.uk
    have looked over their site yet they must have removed it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    See pics below:

    Re: Need help finding out what case model i have

    Is there nothing inside it?

    I have seen a few cases where the name is inside it, hidden away somewhere.

    Failing that maybe post this on OcUk as well, one of the mods may recognize it?

    Re: Need help finding out what case model i have

    i think ocUK are having problems with their registration process as whenever i try signing up with any of my email addresses n family member adresses it says that the email address is blocked by the administrator. even when i tried with one of my friends.
    hmmmm
    will try finding the other camera we have but atm its late, im tired, n the lighting is poor anyways so will try n put more pics up tomorrow
    n the part i need is just the front usb/firewire/ i/o cable and mounted piece, these fit into holes precut in the actual front panel.

    TBH it may work out cheaper to just buy a new case, especially if you just want cheap HERE

    Re: Need help finding out what case model i have

    Nah theirs no point getting a new one, i've already moved my system from my old case to this one, and plus this one, as well as an uber cool Zalman CNPS9700-LED CPU cooler were given to me for free he basically gave me his entire old system, all because he's made of money and couldnt be arsed to replace his old psu n mobo which konked out.
    as well as.... i love this case, its nice n roomy for what i need it for, n im gonna turn it into a mini project once i get everything together, as well as a few more pounds

    Re: Need help finding out what case model i have

    What parts did you need?

    TBH its going to be very hard to guess as It looks like a cheaper "generic" case that lots of people sell.

    If you tell us what parts you need maybe we can help get a solution.

    Oh and and you can change case and keep your CPU cooler

    But it looks to be the sort of case you'd pick up in the likes of a Maplin store.... i.e. (as suggested) just a generic case, rather than a branded model

    Re: Need help finding out what case model i have

    when i get home from my girlfriends this evening i'll take a pic of the actual part, its basically just the cable that leads to the front panel n attaches to the area where the holes are cut out of the front of the case already, will find a better camera too (Y)
    hopefully some of you guys will check this back tomorrow xD will have the images up then.
    Oh n btw, overclockers tech support have been useless, n their forum is still not accepting registrations.

    Re: Need help finding out what case model i have

    Maybe a cheaper X-blade? Tricky to tell. There is many many cases like it.

    Nothing stamped on the bottom or the inside? Somtimes it can be quite hidden inside.
