It's unanimous! or however you spell that. Actually I guess I'm the only one who voted so far. I have to say, though, that in my current financial situation I would have to save some money and go with the cheapest tower I could find...

I'd go for a case... for the space... I guess.
I mean, isn't it easier to keep the temperature down in a big tower case? Of course the cost is also important.

The rackmount is neat. But you don't want that friggin noisegenerator inside your studio do you?
And I don't want any racks outside my studio either...so case it is.

Rackmount...all the way! it is neater and blends in better with all the rest of the gear. I guess I would be a bit concerned about noise and heat, but I think those things can be overcome with proper design.

how about a rackmount case?! hehehe :)
if money were no object - rackmount.
otherwise stick with a case

Rackmount, nice in a portable rack case too. ;)

i would mostly prefer a horizontal position (Read: rackmount) than vertical (tower) because of space saving config.

so if it's rackmountable, having that extra option is good for the eventuality.
the rackmount case has to be solid though (obviously) :tu:

I'd go with a tower and a Silence Case.

I voted for rackmount because of portability.

I'm only thinking along these lines now, because I might have a need for a small mobile setup that would record up to four people and I'm trying to decided between:

How about a laptop with firewire inteface and drives? ............ Fats

Cool, thanks for your input folks...for those that did vote..
I got mixed results though..Most of you said to go with Cases but there are more votes for Rackmounts than cases :D
