those 2U's are pretty cool. too bad, though, it doesn't look like they'll accept a full size expansion card... wait a minute! if they have an AGP riser you can slap in a decent video card, onboard sound for the motherboard should be more than adequate, and you still have one riser slot. with a little work, you should be able to cram one of those SOHO Realtek NIC's in there. just add an extra hole at the back for the connector. and you still have one expansion slot left! this keeps getting cooler all the time. maybe i should save up some money and get one of those 2U's. and as far as the mounting flanges go, DO IT! grab that hacksaw! you know you want too! :) of course, at $329 for the 2U 300W case, you may want to leave it well enough alone... > -----Original Message----- > From: Dexter Graphic [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 1:25 AM > To: EUG-LUG > Subject: [EUG-LUG:1383] Rackmount Enclosures > > Hey guys, I hit the jackpot!
