X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 09 Apr 2003 19:49:57 -0000 I'm looking to build a couple of rackmount servers, preferrably 2-3U to be used as file/print servers. I'm planning on using the Adaptec 2400A ATA RAID cards, which are full-length PCI cards and using at least four IDE disks per system in addition to a CD-ROM drive and one or two other PCI cards. I don't need ultra-high density as much as I need a roomy case that can accomodate the internal drives and full-length PCI card. Decent air movement is a plus with that many drives crammed inside. Any suggestions? Places that sell rackmount cases are a dime a dozen, but referrels from good businesses that people like aren't.
