Rack-mount cases

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Insipred as I was by Nik's rather nice looking 1U rack case, and becasue
I'v
now got a decent rack, - also thanks to Nik, (fun & games getting it
into a
Peugeot 406, but let's not go into that eh!), I now feel inclined to
convert
one or more of my existing server PC's into rackmount cases, so I am on the
search for a source of a decent range of said cases.

First point to note:- I'm not looking to necessarily rebuild these machines
onto new motherboards etc. - I merely at this stage wish to move 1 of them
"as is" into a new rack case, - therefore I need one which can
acommodate a
standard ATX motherboard, and full height PCI cards etc. So I guess that
means at least a 3U case?

Later on (like in about 3 months), I do plan to rebuild one or two of them,
but again I would like to re-use the existing (perfectly good) hardware
where possible, so again I'm not terribly interested in going down the
mini-ITX route at this time... (that may come later for a new kitchen
PC)....

suggestions?
