I got my hands on a heavy duty 4 u rackmount case from an dead backup power supply. It sits in my basement awaiting body parts.

I also have 2 'donor' computers that are more than willing to giveup some drive bays and hardware to this project.

I've been seeing a few rackmount systems with lid tables. I saw one where the lid had 2 sets of legs and was a standalone table, and the other one had one set of legs and the table attached to the case at the other end. That is purely genius. I think the 2nd one is Anvils M.I.C.S system or somethimg, I dont know.

Hey everyone, I am new here currently deployed to the middle east (guess where) and leaving soon. I have been researching parts and what not for building my DAW when I get back. I am torn between buying a rackmount case, or a silent tower. What I have been looking for is some kind of kit to be able to mount a desktop tower in a rackmount space. Anyone around know of any solutions to this?

Came across this device in Recording Magazine i thought the crowd here might find it interesting...

Hello,
I'm Wondering if anyone has had any luck with a particular rackmount PC case to house their DAW.

At the moment I've got a rather noisy tower and was thinking about a rackmount option with some quiet fans.

Any links or names would be appreciated.

Thanks
Anthony

Hi Folks
Looking for opinions/recomendations for a ups to power my pc and 2 monitors. I'm looking for brownout and spike protection and enough time to save and shut down in the event of a power failure.
Today it was the 17 yr old with the hair dryer!
thanks Roly

Does anybody here have a good source for reasonably priced rackmount PC cases?

Any things to pay specific attention to so that the Mobo and the rest fits well?

Do these cases generally come with quiet fans (or any fans for that matter)?

Do they come with power supplies (my impression is they usually don't ... ) ?

Thanks in advance,

MisterBlue.
