Yeah, the model numbers suffix, i.e., BT-90-B represents the color of the acrylic used. And I'ld look to Sunbeam to pull off the Full Tower first as they're known for quality and lots of extras.

In the meanwhile..... HERES a close Lucite runner up called the Grande. Following the current production trend, at 9" W x 22" H x 18" D it is being classed as a "Full Tower". Upon comparing it to my 8 x 20½ x 19 SB Transformer, it's quite aparent they merely eliminated the second 3.5 & droped the 120mm fan hole to allow for 6 5.25 bays.And since they refer to the four 2" x 2" blocks as the base rather than as Feet, one can readily see where they get 22" instead of 20" in hight.

It does come with tons of mod options from a wide variety of color tint that includes full case, sides, front/back to extra blow holes and even second PSU that only drive the $189.00 cost through the perverbial roof. Which still beats the only other option found, a custom "True" Full Tower(20"H) constructed with over $300 of ½" Lucite with shipped price dependant on other mandatory "options/specs" chosen.......hell it won't even list a base price!
