Rackmount Super ATX case

I'll be moving my FTP and Web server to rackmount 19" 4U EIA cases after Christmas. I don't want to spend over $100 on each case. What are some decent ones out there?

Each unit only requires an optical drive (5.25") and a floppy drive. I prefer good ventilation and ability to hold 4 hard drives. Front USB and other ports and fan filters are a plus but not not required.
 
The Evercase 4U is the one that Startech sells at quite a markup - lots of folks like those.
Here's the direct link to the mfr's page: http://www.evercase.com/2product/r9400.htm You can get them w/o PSU at several places but the one place I looked you get the 300W psu for only $6. so you might as well take it and dump it on eBay. Go to eWiz via froogle (search on R9400B) and save $3. on either.

You can buy any options for it direct from Evercase (see the link above), but they have no e-Shopping on their site, so it's phone or fax and they charge $10. per order for shipping regardless of amount so you may as well stock up. The dual HDD racks they sell for their mid-tower cases are nice if you have need (can be used in any case that has the space for them, IOW they are "universal" kits) - get the rubber bushing kit for each too. You may be able to use one for the extra two HDD in your 9400... Or get something like the Lian Li EX-23 drive cage (three HDD in two 5" bays).

And here is a link to the Egg's 4U cases.
