I was looking at this case yesterday:

<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119211&cm_re=coolermaster_elite-_-11-119-211-_-Product>

It appears to include a mounting bracket for the back of a VESA monitors. 
I'm not sure how that works.  What if you want to use a wall mount for the

Anyway, I thought I'd throw that out there.  I discarded it for my
particular application, too low, but perhaps someone else will find it
helpful.  Frys stocks it as well.
