The only reviews of it I can find are from two years ago, plus it's not listed on OCZ's website, so it's probably out of production and will be difficult to find for retail sale.

Yep. Your best bet is to make your own "implosion" case. Get an InWin case and add all the fans you want:

Like LT mentioned, it's probably up to you to get a cheap case and cut the holes yourself. It's not as daunting as it might seem, though...just do a web search for case modding and you're liable to run across quite a few links on how to do it.
