I was going to go look for the yeong yang yy-w101 mid tower/server case. It was on the internet a few months ago, and several places were selling it for $70-$80US and now its no where to be found except on the yeong yang site. It was a really nice case too, almost exactly like antec slk3800 except it had lots of air vents and a card holder. Not to mention I liked the way it looked. Its so strange that it would just dissapear like that.

Directron has Y-Y cases in stock including the A102 which looks identical to the 101 (compare them on Y-Y's site) except for the different styled bezel. Prices are $60-65.
According to the Y-Y site and Directron, the 101/102 only has one 60mm case fan. There's no way this case has anywhere near the ventilation of the Antec SLK-3700 with its' two 120mm fans.

The w101 has 2 120mm fans, your talking about the a101. The case im talking about has at least as good of ventilation as the slk-3700 possibly better.

Ask and ye shall receive! This is where I got mine. Very sturdy little case. Use a magnetic tip screwdriver to put the drive screws in though...will save you alot of headache!!!!

By the way, how do you like the case? I thought it would be nice with a little modding, maybe a paint job. Also have you seen any reviews on it that you could link me to? I remeber seeing some somewhere but i searched and I cant find them now.

I can only remember seeing 1 review on it and I believe it was a foreign site...so only lots of pictures.
I cut out the fan grills and used mesh material to put filters on the case. There is also a metal tab that prohibits you from taking the front cover off the case by hand that you might want to remove. Done right, this case can be almost silent with great airflow.
What I didn't like about it:
The outside is a C-shell. (non removable side panels)
I would have really liked plastic drive rails
