You could try Siliconrax, who have a very nice version of a common, not-so-nasty case for about $175 + power supply. Or, if your budget stretches a little further, talk to Telenet Systems (www.tesys.com) about their 1U microservers. We have a number of them around here now, and they're extremely nice. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
