| Looking for a rack-mountable CPU case
I have three thoughts here...
1. Find a case designed to mount to a rack (easiest)
2. Place shelf on rack and use black case (gaudiest)
3. Find shelf/blank plate and modify for fan, CD-R/DVD-R, LED's, IR, USB, switches, possibly HD-DVD/Blue-Ray device, etc. (hardest)
What are some thoughts and suggestions for mounting a HTPC in a rack? As of now, the PC will be just a PC... No media storage. That will all be stored centrally on a server. So basically, I'm needing a case for power supply, motherboard, CPU, small hard drive, memory, graphics, sound, etc. The PCI slots can be relocated if height turns out to be an issue.
This project is currently on the back-burner, but I would like to pick the brains of those out there who've tried this already or if anyone knows of a solution that may be easier, but still be scalable.
