Rack mount PC case?

Does anyone make a rack mount PC case? I'm building a CNC mill that will have the controller rack mounted in one of these cases. In particular I'm looking at the model#B3F16-062B
. I would like to have the PC mounted in the same rack.

However, the Lansing cases are not set up for a PC and would be too much work to get it set up for PC, so I'd like to get one that is already made for that.

Any ideas? Thanks.
 
Newegg.com sells tons of rack mount cases.

I was looking on their site earlier and for some reason I couldn't find any. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place. I'll check again. Thanks.

ETA: Checked again and I found rack mount server cases, but they are quite large and expensive. The PC that will drive this CNC machine is pretty simple, so I don't need a huge server case. It will only have one HDD, 2.4GHz processor, 512MB Ram, etc. I may just go for a regular PC case if I can't find a simple rack mount one. If I'm checking the wrong thing let me know, but I did a serach for "rack mount" on their website and only came up with about 3 server rack mount cases.
 
directron.com has rackmount cases. they even have water cooled rack mounts
 
For what you're describing, a 2U would be sufficient. If the CNC is considered a critical operation, you'll want to spring for a redundant PSU.

Thanks for the info. I should also add the specs for the PC, maybe that will help:

Intel Pentium 4 2.4B Northwood 2.4GHz 512KB L2 Cache Socket 478 Processor
WINTEC AMPO 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200)
BIOSTAR P4M80-M4 Socket 478 VIA P4M800 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

As you can see, it doesn't need to be anything really screaming fast as it's pretty much dedicated to driving the CAM software and sending signals to the controller.
