2. Chassis ‐ Aegis B5‐N
ElanVital Aegis B5-N NLX Form Factor PC case, also named Asus B5 Mini NLX desktop case by Walmart, is a very compact and nice-looking one. It has one floppy drive bay, one slimline CDROM drive bay on the outside, and one IDE drive mounting option on the inside.
A scan of the case assembly manual is provided here.
To enhance the usability of this machine, I have created various 3d print items. Please head over to the 3D Prints & Mods for more details.
The opening for the CDROM tray might be too small/narrow. In my case, I had to remove the front panel of the CDROM tray and wet-sand it down by 0.5mm on both sides. You might want to test fit the drive tray before assembly.
Use M2 screws with 2mm thread length. Using a screw that's too long will prevent the tray from moving, or even damage the internals of the drive.
Make sure the top lips of the metal I/O shield go over the top of the lips on the back of the case. Otherwise the motherboard and the case won't fit properly.
This does NOT apply when you are using the 3D printed I/O panel.
