Strong, black desktop case
I'm looking for a black desktop case that's strong enough to handle a
70 lb. CRT monitor. I would like to keep it as short (vertically) as possible and am not really concerned about the form factor of the MB. It will be used as a barebones system to manage our incoming faxes, so it doesn't require a lot of internal space. Any ideas for a manufacturer? Thanks. |

Hopefully I won't be tinkering with it too often. I just don't want to
get a case that's going to be squashed like a bug! Any other case suggestions? |

Optiplex will definitely hold it. Have one. It's a tank, alright.
