What footprint is this board? You might want to consider buying a "real" chassis for it; either a rack case (moderately expensive, but very robust) or a decent server tower. Have a look at supermicro's site for some ideas on what real boxes look like. You should be able to find someone in your area (Ottowa?) that carries their stuff. mike
