Then I remembered something about John Monahan's custom S-100 chassis on his website and saw the trick he did - so I went with that instead. I'm still looking for something to use as a Mini S-100 chassis. I found some possibilities, just have to double check the dimensions. This is using the new 9slot backplane from Josh/Todd plus those switching power supplies. Also, it's always going to involve some bit of customizing to bolt everything inside it.
