Zepper, Akira,
my thanks to both of you, those are exactly the types of items I was looking for. It's been ages since I've shopped/built a system from scratch and the 'google' effect was overwhelming me with to many sites without real solutions. You two have led me to great choices and great sites.
My thanks to both of you,
Durnik
PS: Akira, they're definately 1U cases, my home lab right now is 28 ancient and underpowered miss matched cast offs (I work in the IT industry and use my lab to stay current in products and integration). I've made the absolute decision to clean it up and make a clean 1U environment.
