[dundee] In need of 1U rackmount cases... SSI / EPS12V

[Sean McRobbie]

Hello,

Unfortunately we're looking for proper rack cases I think, or at least those that'd fit a standard 1U PSU (with EPS12V) and can take 2 or more 3.5" disks.

Unless of course we could homebrew that for cheap, but the PSUs alone currently cost ~£70 each...

Regards,
Sean McRobbie

A possibly stupid, but mind-opening question would be:

Are you looking for a proper rack case or is "Google style" rackmount 
system sufficient for you? In the second case you would probably be OK 
with a simple rack shelf with a few spacers to rest the motherboard on. 
That will add up to about 20 quid or so :)

If you send me the precise type of the board I can even produce a 
drilling layout for you :) We did the same thing with Wrap boards a 
loong time ago. Saves a lot of money.

Afterwards we can open-source the design under the CC license :)
