Re: Rackmount cases



Does anyone know of a supplier of 19" rackmount cases.  I'm wanting something similar to the Maplins cases (ie. style and cost) but I need them to be deeper.  I'm looking for 1U and 2U sizes approx 500mm deep.  I've been surfing but I'm struggling to find a supplier :o(
 
As Chris points out, Novatech do a 1U one complete with 200W ATX PSU.  It's not cheap at £99 +VAT, but delivery is free (for mainland at least).  I've just got one - and it's deep - too deep - necessitating me taking a jigsaw to node zero to accommodate it :O
 
OK, so this is a bit more expensive than a £35 Craplins one - but you try and find a 1U PSU.....  They're not cheap.  Q suggested taking a Dremel to a normal one - but I've just had a nose at a 230W one and the heatsink's too high.  There may be other normal ones that are slightly shorter - but until you open one up you don't really know.
 
Usual disclaimer applies - if in doubt, don't open PSUs up and mess with them!
