I am searching for the case of my first PC and can’t find it. It’s cursed, as if it never existed. The render is a recreation from memory, so it may slightly vary to the real thing, but I am sure I got the basic shapes and proportion right.

What I remember

  • hp system
  • was bought in a bundle (?) with an hp printer and a dell monitor
  • bought in Germany around 2006
  • ran windows vista
  • mid tower (probably atx or micro-atx)
  • one disk drive
  • recessed i/o with SD-Card reader
  • air intake at the front bottom (at least that’s what I think it was in hindsight)

There are many hp cases of the mid 2000s that match the design language, but they are all different to my case. If you recognize it, let alone have any information on it, let me know :)

Edit: Thank you all for your guesses! I’ll try to respond to you all, but I feel bad for responding “nope, sadly not it” to most of your suggestions. But you gave me some ideas what to check out next, hopefully it will help me identify the case after all :)

Edit 2: picture time :D – it’s just a different angle

Edit 3: randomblock1 found it. It’s a Hyricane PCK01978. I formerly would like to issue an apology for claiming it was hp. xD Thank you all again for your help :3

      Or this one maybe, the only model I can find is t746.fr but I’m pretty sure this case design was available in other European countries.

      Pavillions like these come increadibly close, they have the silver front, the nice swoop up top, but I checked their entire lineup of the time and none matched. I am beginning to think that the case was some weird one off thing.
