Question about building a server....

[ben johnson]

I have built many computers in ATX cases, but now I need to build a server. Any idea where I can get a 4u rack case for the server? Newegg didn't seem to have any. Also, is there anything special that I need to know before I do this? Do I need a different motherboard size or anything?

Sorry for such a broad question. I wasn't sure where else to start.

Thanks.

Newegg does have them, it's easier to search for "rackmount case" than it is to navigate to them though. Rackmount cases use the same size standards as regular ATX cases, just make sure to get a case that supports the size of the motherboard you want to use.
