Favorite NUC cases

[patton]

As a poor medical student who can't afford to live out his own Mac Mini/Intel NUC Hackintosh dreams, I wanted to share some links to my favorite NUC cases in case anyone else was interested...

Abee NE03 http://www.abee.co.jp/Product/nuc/NE03/index.html
-appears to have a little but of extra wiggle room inside possible for more components?

Abee NE04 http://www.abee.co.jp/Product/nuc/NE04/index.html
-my favorite mini cubic case ever. The Abee lineup appears to have adjustable rear I/O panels for the different types of NUCs (i.e. thunderbolt vs double HDMI...).

Impactics D1NU1-S http://www.impactics.com/d1nu-s/
-really cool look to this case. Also have options for BRIX setups.

The well documented and known Dremel Junkie iMac G4 mod http://www.dremeljunkie.com/2013/01/imac-g4-ivy-bridge-hackintosh-finishing.html
-my favorite by far.

Apple Disk II http://cameronscloset.com/category/apple-ii/disk-ii/#jp-carousel-352
-I think someone here or around the web has put an old mac mini into this case, but it would also be a cool Intel NUC case.

Intel Loop AIO Chassis http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/hardware-developers/loop-lp-2150-aio-pc-integration.html
-Cant see for sure if this is made for/would take a NUC but either way it would be a cool iMac hackintosh.

Looks like the Intel Loop chassis is made for a thin form board from Intel which doesn't come with soldered CPUs. This could be a nice alternative so you can upgrade the CPU as time goes on? No idea about hackintosh compatibility though.

Compatibility not good, see the following post.

But the form factor seems to have been abandoned by Intel (no Haswell update), so not something worth pursuing anyway. I am still waiting for Haswell NUC, to pursue my NUC case, a 20" iMac G5

Any idea where the Abee cases can be bought in the U.S.?
