Hi, all. I've spent countless time scrounging the Internet looking for a compact tower case that fits mATX (not mid-tower that is too big to fit ATX mainboard), with common ATX PS2 power supply, that has three contiguous 5.25" bays, bonus if there's one internal 3.5" or 2.5" too.
For some reason there seems to be this world-wide standard for manufacturers to produce compact tower for mATX with 2x 5.25" and 1x external 3.5" bays -- there are hundreds if not thousands of those.

Thanks in advance for the advice :)

Not what you asked for, but have you considered the Fractal Design Node 804?

Thanks for the idea, Stux. Unfortunately cube cases won't work because they usually take up too much footprint for the space I have. Ideally one of those micro tower cases would be budget-friendly but why, oh why, do they always have 2x 5.25" bays and 1x 3.5" bay.

Thanks, KrisBee. That one only has 2x 5.25" bay :(
Seriously, it reminds me of having two floppy 5.25" double-density diskette drives for both A:> and B:> never more than that since C:> is a gargantuan 20MB (P)ATA hard disk! the good old times :)

Oops, why did I read 3 X 5.25" and think 3 plus 3.5 drives? I don't think I've ever seen a case which has what you're looking for in a compact tower format.
