   I had this case back in the early 2000s. I think I bought it sometime around 2005 ~ 2007. I've tried searching my e-mail archive from back then and can't seem to find the original order for it. I've tried asking some AI engines and doing image searches too, but they've all given me wrong answers only.
   
   I think it might have been a Thermaltake or Cooler Master? I can't really tell from the logo. The weird feature of this case was the CD-Rom holder ... yes that circle on top held a decorative CD (or DVD), and the front was hinged door that swung open. I think it was all plastic.
   
   Anyone have any idea what case this was? I'm just really curious now for some reason.

     Those are the only photos I have sadly. It house a hackintosh and I sold it in 2012 when I moved overseas for a few years.
     
     But, You Found It!! I mean, it's not the exact case, but it's certainly from that generation! I think it's this case, the Eclipse:

     I even found the original order in my Email. It was from some store called ConneXions in Dayton Ohio from 2006!

     A few suggestions
     - could you post a picture clearly showing the front of the case?
     - could you post a close up picture of the logo?
     - if you pull it out, is there a label on the back panel? Thinking of a model number, lot number, serial number, or other identification.

     I also found this

     Not a black case but what was demoed at Computex 2005.

     They're even ancient Newegg and Amazon listings for it!
