I eventually went with a place close by us in Northern NJ, Ango Electronics Corp. (http://www.ango.com). We ordered 10 standard AT rackmount cases and got them for $175 apiece. For our needs they are constructed well, all aluminum so they are considerably more lightweight and the heat dissipation is better. They do ATX cases, but they are more (how much I couldn't tell you exactly). They will do custom encloures, and they are quite easy to deal with once you get by the heavy oriental accent the owner (John) has. We are very happy with them, and will definately order more from them. They make all sorts of rack equipment and other cabinets and enclosures, and they have been around for quite a while already, so they look like they will stay around for a while to come yet. ______________________________________________________________ -Gary Margiotta Voice: (973) 835-9696 TBE Internet Services Fax: (973) 256-4605 http://www.tbe.net E-Mail: gary@tbe.net
