Serves him well for right know. He's only 6, but he's got a huge appetight for gaming!

I got a 7 month old too. No box for him yet. Although he loves daddies keyboard. Especially when working in the bios!

Then theres my laptop which i really hate although its a necessity.

Also got lots of parts lying around. I guess like everyone else.

Check out Ebay. They have lots of rackmount cases in 4U and a fair amount of 1 & 2U's as well usually

Enermax are good. We've just purchased several 4U cases for work, they're excellent so far.

Also Supermicro (I believe) is what they're called are good too.

Tried ebay, prices started out reasonable then the sharks jumped in within the last minute and a half.

Pricewatch had some descent deals too.

Enermax and supermicro are both respectable cases. Right now i'm not really too picky. As long as its not a DELL or gateway case. Thanks for the help

1U is a standard of measurement in rackmount 'speak'. 1U is about 1.75 inches. So 2U would be 3.5 inches and 3U would there for be 5.25 inches. It allows for easy rack deployment and efficent of rack space, which can be expensive.

You can put standard components into a rack mount case but depending on your hetasink/fan combo and the case it may not fit. Also the majority of them will only have 1 External bay to use for optical drives, so look for more if you need them.
