Hello Everyone! We are currently looking for a Desktop Host PC to use for testing High Frequency PCI Adapter Cards. I am looking for something that has a complete metal enclosure, with a metal cover. (Not a plastic cover with a metal shield). I have looked at a couple of new Dell systems and was very unimpressed with their chassis design. I am also hoping that the system will provide fingers at the card slot openings of the chassis, to ensure good contact to my card's bracket. I have found that when testing products that run at clock speeds greater than 1 GHz, the host chassis becomes critical.
Any suggestions on manufacturers and/or models that you may have had good results with would be appreciated. Thank you, Randy Flinders EMC Test Engineer Emulex Network Systems
