It's beige and it's about knee-high.  Sorry, I don't have a model 
number, and I don't recall how big the PS is.  It has three half-height 
bays and two floppy-sized bays, the bottom of which is covered up by a 
slot in the front panel.

The front panel is in two parts.  The top part that surrounds the bays 
comes off via two latches on the sides, and the bottom part unlatches at 
the top when the upper section is removed and has a series of prominent 
horizontal slats running up the center.  It's one of the nicest cases 
I've dealt with and compares favorably with that Japanese brushed 
aluminum case they sell at Frontech with regard to layout and function.
