1U Rack mount case for VIA EPIA

encode · 8th January 2006, 2:17 PM

Hi,

I'm looking for a 1U rack mount case for a VIA EPIA, most likely the PD-10000. Does anyone know of some reasonably priced locally available supplier / cases?

I really like the C159 but it doesn't seem to be available locally (The manufacturer lists no distributers for australia) and it's also horrendously expensive - around $380US.

Thanks!

How about the 1RU SpinServer?

It's too deep (the length) for what I was thinking of. I don't believe there is any 'cheap' solution, which is a bit disappointing.

I was looking for something similar but in 2U. Everything I could find was huge, or rediculously expensive.

I went for a couple of these from Jaycar and in the process of building my own. It is actually working very well, I have the epia a 2u PSU and 4 HD's all in the unit (with very little room to spare).

They have a similar chassi's in 1U and also 3U and all seem to be of quite reasonable construction quality.
