Where have all of the generic Desktop Style Case gone?

I need a good strong case for my HTPC but it must have 3 external visible (Not hidden by a stupid DVD Door) 5.25" Bays and 1 or 2 External 3.5" bays (not a floppy slot just a bay). These cases are not too be found these days what happened to all of them? all of the ones I see today have only 2 external 5.25" bays and a cover over the DVD Drive. I know Enlight had a Case back in the day (The EN-7200) and thats the case I have been looking for but I can not find it any where for the life of me Aopen also had one the AQ95A, I also believe Inwin had one also but I can't recall the model number.

I need Three 5.25" Bays Because I have 1 optical drive and a Matrix Orbital LCD (The LCD takes up 2 bays)

So does any one know where to get a good desktop case like I described these days? or does any body have one laying around that I can get possibly free(will Pay Shipping of course) or for a good price

$20 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811156011

$15 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811147065

and there are plenty of others, just go to newegg.com-> computer cases -> computer cases -> ATX Mid Towers, and search by lowest price

I think he means this

the old style desktop cases - not the tower styles. Most of them have turned into HTPC cases with 2 slots max on them.

This one might work.

I have never seen any desktop cases with 5 slots open on the front Some of my tower cases only have 4.

ok then he can just change the search from ATX Mid Tower to "Desktop" and find all those
