I've been looking for this case for years. And I stumbled upon it on
ebay. Here's the listing. The price is also has some comedy value.
http://cgi.ebay.com/AMAZING-VINTAGE-ONE-OWNER-ATARI-LOT-PRISTINE-MINT-/3602…
I'm interested in the full heigh 5.25" case to the right in the photos
with what looks like a floppy drive and a half height hard drive. Is
there a name or model number for this case? And would anyone be
willing to part with one?
thanks.

Generic, cheap Taiwanese-made stuff from the
mid-80's. I imagine there were many makers
of these.
I used one with the MAD-1 I had at the time . . .

Yup, you could find them at just about any computer fair during the
80s. Essentially made to match the 5150 look with an internal PSU.
I have one and might be willing to let it go for doubloons, but would
prefer to trade for something interesting.

scroll down to 1790 miles.
Either California(Sacramento, San Buenaventura, Oxnard, Modesto,
Stockton) or Eugene, OR. Your domain confirmed it. :)

The asking price reflects either unreasonable aspiration or dementia -
thanks for the laughs!
I have picked up full-height cases of that form factor at swap meets,
hamfests, etc. over the years. However, since "recycle" mania has hit,
they are admittedly getting difficult to come by.
There's a special place in Hell for misguided Green recyclying
initiatives that crush vintage equipment and ship it to China. I made one
or two attempts at hanging around one of the local crush-fests in hopes of
picking the pile. Was chased off in no uncertain terms. Do not kid
yourselves, these are money-making ventures for someone!
