Tyan Mini 1U Rack Mount Chassis (14", 200W, 1/2 HD, 1 CD, LED Panel, etc) APPLIANCE

Folks:


I am interested in building my own Network Server Appliances. For now I
just want to study/investigate the necessary HARDWARE to build my
Appliances.

Specifically, I am interested in getting the following hardwa

* Tyan Mini 1U Rack Mount Chassis (14", 200W, 1/2 HD,
1 CD, LED Panel, etc)

Actually the manufacturer need not be TYAN. Any reliable manufacturer (for
example; SuperMicro, etc)
will be quite OK for me. For now, I just want to investigate the (Tyan/ Etc
Mini Rack Mount Case)
being put onto the market by a variety of manufacturers Later on I will move
onto the SOFTWARE side
of the APPLIANCE creation process.



* Can anyone tell me where I can purchase (AT THE RETAIL LEVEL) Mini 1U
Rack Mount Chassis (14", 200W, 1/2 HD, 1 CD, LED Panel, etc)
from various manufacturers.

* I would love to hear about the experiences of folks who are
successfully building network server appliances for various purposes.




Thanks,
John.

Seems to me Google (or Froogle) is your best bet to find what you want.
Use "rackmount chassis" as your search argument, with the quotes.

Try looking at MACASE
