I'm building a computer for my parents for christmas and am trying to make it match with their new tv/entertainment center and everything. I need a Desktop case that's black, 2+ cd drive slots and 2 floppy slots (internal zip/floppy for those wondering).

I've searched newegg and mwave and found only a few that are even similar...I don't want to go with something like a silverstone case though. I've thought about painting a white one however I'm 99% sure I couldn't make it look good enough. No, I don't want to get a tower and flip it on its side, I know they make 'standard' desktops in black, but seeing as they aren't very common anymore, it's quite hard to find.

An example of something like what I'm looking for: http://www.baber.com/cases/mpe_dk2.htm just found this one, it's not available though...but this is basically what I'm looking for; the only thing it doesn't have that I'd like is front usb (not necessary though)

The desk to the right in this picture is where the comp will be going; with a new 17" black lcd monitor, altec lansing speakers, black keyboard, logitech mx500 mouse...the only thing I can't get to match is the case.

If anyone has any suggestions of where to look or knows of a case that's similar to what I'm looking for, I'd love to hear it.
 
It's a family pc that's gonna be running an abit board with onboard video/sound, one 80mm fan will be more than enough to keep it cool. It's never on for more than a few hours at a time anyhow. The total price on the comp is going to be under $400 so I'd rather not blow over $100 on the case.

I checked every case on newegg, mwave, and about a dozen other sites already and have found two that might be plausible. I really don't like any of the newegg ones, especially the silverstone or cooler master types, they really look tacky.

The two I've found so far that I'm considering are:

and
http://www.directron.com/7106.html

The last one from directron is the closest to what I want, but I would love to get one with front usb, though I doubt that'll happen. The other bad thing about that case is that it's $50 without a psu/fan, so I'd have to pick up a ~$27 sparkle from newegg and a ~$5 fan from svc making that an $80 case, heh. I'm hoping to get everything under $400 but I'm having one hell of a time.
