    I find Econ's price outrageously expensive... If I'm paying $200 US
for this thing, it better be a *very* professional product.  No rough
edges around the backplane cutouts, motherboard installation has to be a
snap (literally), a matching platinum colour, hard ABS plastic on the
outside and a metal chassis on the inside, a quiet fan and power supply
(both audibly and electrically), "Apple IIGS/T" silkscreened in Garamond
Narrow on the case, an LED that reads "99" MHz, etc.  ;-)  How about a
baby tower case with two 3.5" and two 5.25" bays instead?  I can pick up
a brand new case here for $70 US.  I don't know if I would want to pay
an extra $130 for a custom case and still have to put the whole thing
together myself.  $120 for a mini-tower and we'll talk.  ;-)
