It is called the Solo these days. Here's a link:

It is not the perfect case -- none is -- but overall it has worked out remarkably well for me.

it's sort of frustrating that it costs me so much time ... to buy what I consider to be commodities ... I'd rather have I could quickly buy a PC (as in the old days)
Well, you are exploring rather fine differences between very similar products to craft something that meets your very personal requirements. You will get something in the end that really is better than a commodity computer made by one of the big manufacturers, but you certainly could have gone that route and had a good outcome. And you will have the benefit of knowing your hardware well, and why you bought it in the first place. That will help you to evaluate new things as they come along, and to fix problems as they come up.
