I'm interested in the standards such as placement of fasteners, power cords, network cables, and mounting. Ideally, this would be a learning experience--otherwise I'd just go plop my money down at intel. For the first time, I've had a reason to get into rackmount cases. I haven't found much in the list archives and my clueless web searches haven't provided me much in the way of results. I've found a few companies that provide them but they list minimal information and the cheapest I've found anything is $200 for a (empty) 2U case. I've found: http://www.rackmaster.com/products.htm http://www.calpc.com/html/contents.html http://www.aristaipc.com/chassis/chassis.htm http://www.antec-inc.com/product/product.html http://www.starbox.net/ (no parts) http://www.servercase.com/Rackmountcases.html (most impressive as far as quantity) http://www.gorilla.net/ to name a few. I'm really looking for the standards and parts. I know there's got to be a place to for each of those things. I'm also interested in what _works_ for other people.
