fernando,
this is the idotpc case I use for all the rackmounts of jetway boards.. it
works very well..
infact we just buy the RS-1908 server all built already.. for us the
NF99fl-525 board is our board of choice and it works great in that case... my
only beef has been that they sell these as servers yet if you get an HDD they
give you a WDC blue (not Black or RE).. or a consumer grade SSD.. (crucial
M4 or intel-320).. so ive come to order them without storage...
however they arent fanless at this point.. maybe not a big deal as fans are
much more reliable (esp PWM ones) than they previously were

Sorry for the late reply,
Here is the rackmount case I use for all of my Jetway boards.
