You might try this:

Back in the 90s I had one of these cases. Solid, but did not have the
sophisticated feel of the cases I've used since. Perhaps because at that
point cases weren't standardized to the extent they are now. You can get
any kind of case you want from them, such as a full tower serer case, a
rack mount case, etc. 

I followed that California PC with a steel Shin-G case, but I don't see
that the company exists any more. Since then I've used the Lian Li
aluminum cases.
