SFF Rack mout Cases

[SilentDoh!]

Does any one know where I can find a small rackmount case? I am looking for a 3U 19" wide case that is no more than 15" deep ideally 10 or 12 inches would be fine. I am building an Ipcop box for home and I want to bolt it into my server rack.

I have a K8NGM2 motherboard which measures 9.5" X 9.5" the only other things that will be in this case are two network cards and possible a laptop hard drive or a thumb drive for the OS.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

PC Design Lab has a new case out that might do the trick.

The flatter case is nice but I don't know if tthe Pico psu is going to be big enough for the board and CPU I am running.

A good point...hmmm, I'm not sure right now what would be best.

The closest thing I've found would be a Norco 230

I use it for a lot of things, I've got 4 of them.

Empty:

Built: (mATX 9.6 x 9.6 + 4 SFF expansion slots + Full ATX PSU)

Some on my rack:

I noticed that the case on Newegg is a 2U does that height allow you to use regular height PCI cards or do you have to get shorter ones so they doesn't stick out of the case?
I didn't know that Silverstone made rack mount ears for their boxes that is cool. I was thinking that I would have to get a 3u height case because I already have my cards and I din't want to have to buy shorter ones.

Very nice tell us about your setup here what do you have running?

Yeah, unfortunately the 2U requires smaller cards, which I didn't have any before hand so it was ok for me.

The Norco 430, is 4U, little large, but same depth.

looks like they took the case and just stacked another on top.

looks like the only ones it the low depth like you'd want.


orrrr.... just get a 3U shelf and a mATX case and set it on there
