Cases that aren't designed to appeal to 12 year old boys are hard to come by, period. Manufacturers have decided that everything needs to have sexy angry facades and RGB lights - this has a lot more to do with product people at the manufacturers and less to do with the actual market. Ditto motherboards, especially.

Motherboards I'll give you, but Silverstone, Cooler Master, and Fractal Design all have plenty of simple and normal models. (This list brought to you by looking around my office.)

It would be nice to not have to wait for Amazon to get something for a project, is all.
