Note that there are many flavors. Some "rack-mount" cases are nothing more than ordinary cases with ears on the front, which are pretty useless without shelf rails to support the whole box (they do look impressive, though...) Decide if you want slide-out rails, or if simple case supports are good enough. This depends on what kind of "rack" you're putting the boxen in - enclosed vs telco, etc... This is all independent of the front-accessable, pluggable, or hot-pluggable drive/board/powersupply dimension - I'm just talking case mounting. -- John Woodruff, Sr. Network Engineer, US Net - 301-572-5926 Washington/Baltimore/Richmond ISP - $6.95/month for full PPP!
