I'd like a wide atx case, one of those short double wide ones.
I can't find many suppliers on line.

probably going to have AMD 760MPX mobo, 2 gigs of ram, 3ware 12port raid card and 12 hard drives (I'm thinking 200 GB)

how much power? 550 enough? also where can you buy redundant power supply separate from the case.? the few I've seen are bundled with rackmount servers.

I know it's not a cube, but this one looks like exactly what you need: http://www.rackmountpro.com/productpage.cfm?prodid=1460 It comes with a 460W PSU but you can put in a Zippy redundant 650W, looks like.

Edit: also, be very careful about the PSU requirements if you happen to be getting a Tyan 760MPX board. Tyan's site will help determine which PSUs work with which board.
