1U cases (was: Your Advice: Low Grade/Cost Server Parts)

[Christopher Raven]

I find that SightSystems (http://www.sightsystems.co.uk) are really quite 
good. As a side note they build the Ardman Animation systems. Expect to pay 
about 200 pounds including VAT and delivery the last time I checked for a 
1U case.


Cheers,
Chris R.
