Small case for a raq mount server

[MBony]

I am looking for a small case to mount 1 raq server with the dimensions 25.5"x17".

I need it to deaden the sound.

Thanks!

How much are you looking to spend? I haven't ever really seen cheap rack mount cases...

You can get a Skyhawk 4U rackmount case for about $70. via froogle. But you need to specify what your dimensions are height, width, etc... I think the Skyhawk is a lot deeper than wide and of course it has to be less than 19" wide to allow for the rackmount ears.

I thought I did in my first post?

Well take a look at the Skyhawk and let us know if that's in the ballpark.

Are you talking about a computer case? or an eclosure/cabinet? rack compute cases are easy to find on Newegg and similar places. if you are referring to cabinets or enclosures for rack systems, if you need something to deaden teh sound, you could look into a half height or 1/3 height rack cabinet from Dell, (you can find thewse on ebay fairly regularly). There is also a company that makes small rack cabiness called "Byte Box"s. These are pretty stylish, and small enough to fit unter a tallish desk perhaps. You could also purchase a DJ rackmount box and cut a hole in the back of something to allow for long servers.

IF you're using any kind of AMD Opteron or Xeon (Socket 603/4). Then, do not bother with the Skyhawk chassis. It wasn't design with the intent of cooling so much dissipation of today's processors.
