The lawsuit occurred in 1999. They were first bought in 2004. If the lawsuit had driven them out of business, I sincerely doubt it would have taken 5 years to do so. But I could be wrong.

SERIOUSLY, THAT'S IT.
You want a real lookalike case? Here:
Looks a heck of a lot more like it, and yet doesn't... because it can't. They'd be sued like eMachines was (went out of business because of it).
I can't seem to find that case on newegg by working backwards from the pic....can you give me a pointer to the make/model?
EDIT: NM....found it...it's a discontinued item (and got mediocre reviews)
They were successfully sued by Apple in 1999. It didn't force eMachines out of business like you suggested and they were bought out by Gateway 5 years later in 2004.
I don't see the connection? 😕
Edit: belvdr beat me to it.

Here's the only case I found that can hold its own in terms of design and esthetics against MacPro.. and the one my future Nehalem hackintosh will be based on 😀

That's a nice Lian Li, but a bit too big for my taste.. at over 2ft height, it probably won't fit under my desk.
