gtrmac Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 There's a company called Boomrack that makes a nice case. You'll have to search for a distributer though. Mac Bowne G-Clef Acoustics Ltd. Osaka, Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoeditor1 Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Go to [url=http://www.pricewatch.com]Price Watch.com[/url] , Look under "CPU", then go to cases, then in the lower right hand portion of the display, under "Search Category", you'll find different types of rack cases. Note that rack enclosures are generally 100-200% more expensive than your generic AT/ATX case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh Clem Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 I just got the BoomRack black/4u/5HD bays from Directron.com (bummer because they charge almost 2x of others like pProvantage), but they were the only ones who had it in stock. Provantage.com has a good price if they can actually get it. If you can wait on them, that'd be the way to go. Even so, it was worth it - I was so tired of the cheap case I had. I did it with the rack rails and it works like a champ - built like a tank and looks like serious business - something you would not mind your clients seeing. I searched high and low (for several months now) and most RM cases are so deep (20+ inches) - the Boom is 19 and fits nicely into an audio rack without hanging 9 miles outta the back. It also matches my Magma case very nicely. Steve Powell - Bull Moon Digital www.bullmoondigital.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
