I am also a fan of idotpc for cases.. however if you buy while servers from
them.. (I have bought several NF99fl-525 complete servers).. they regularly
change the HDD / SSD and dont update their website...
shame on me for not popping the case when it arrives as I thought it would have
the Intel 320 SSD in it when it instead had the ill-fated crucial M4 SSD in
it... got that dreaded call from the customer at 3am... . a system installed
with High writes on an M4. not good..

Michael,
I bought my slim case from idotpc.com and fits the board just fine.
Thank You,

Yep it does look quite functional but sorry it really it too busy for me,
