    Haha, 'baby ATX'..wow, it's been a loong time since I've seen that. And I love the random HDD mount above the PSU. It's like case manufacturers were like "What's the most unintuitive location possible for a HDD? Hey, I know, let's stick it up in this tiny gap between the PSU and the top of the case, so they have to take out the PSU to service the HDD."

    Seriously though, I love old cases; I think it's all the random non-standardized stuff that makes each model unique. You just don't see as much of that anymore.

    That should work fine.

    That looks suspiciously like a 6U rackmount...

    I think I have a site that sells those handles bookmarked at home. I will check tonight after the hockey game.

    Do you have a specific measurement in mind? If not I may be able to pull a set off of the systems in my scrap pile. If so, they are yours for the cost of shipping.
