I want to keep the cost down, but I want something that looks nice and is functional. I've got 5 servers I'm looking at replacing existing cases on to make them match, as well as to free up some rack space, as some cases I currently own are 4U, and some are 2U. Also, a good UPS rack mount? I'm currently exploring the APC Smart-UPS 1500VA. This is a home/hobby type network, and all I need to backup is: 1) 5 servers (no monitors) 2) DSL Modem 3) 24-port Switch 4) Wifi AP Thanks!
