EBAY is your best bet. You'll need to convert it to ATX yourself. :P

They're crazy expensive (the ones I've seen anyway). Unless you really love it, a high-end Lian Li or Silverstone would be cheaper.

If you don't need the 2nd optical drive bay, the G5 enclosure is very similar. Indeed they share the same aesthetics.

A few months back i picked up a G5 case for $70US off ebay, so there are bargains to be had if you can find them.
Then you'll need to do the ATX conversion yourself, this is where the fun begins! :cool:

Hack up the old ports off the back and graft the back of another case on to it. Drill corresponding holes into the side for the motherboard. Remove extraneous parts of the case. Etc.

It's not a clean cut thing at all.
