Ok, ok, I know this isn't strictly *FreeBSD* related and I apologize.. :-) but I thought it might be of some interest to those folks who are doing similar things, and I'm not having much luck... sol.net is currently located in several hundred square feet of space (a nice expanse). By the end of summer, I forsee the very likely possibility of moving. I currently have equipment spread out all over the place; my new available machine room area will be about 7'x8' (yes 56 sq ft), and will house something on the order of a dozen PC's, workstations, and misc telecommunications equipment. It might be a bit cramped. :-) The telecom equipment, workstations, and some of the disks are already rack-mountable. I would like to rack mount all of the PC's, (currently six or seven) but need to find a cost effective solution. sol.net charges no fees and generates no revenue - support comes from a trickle of donations and my own pocket. The rack-mounted PC case solutions I have seen to date are in the $300-$400 range. (I don't need monitors. I don't need keyboards. I just need the #&^@# machines...) Does anyone have an inexpensive source for rack-mountable PC cases, and perhaps other rack oriented supplies? If it were just one or two machines I would not mind paying a couple hundred bucks, but the multiplier is a killer. :-) Thanks, ...
