I'm looking for a 1 or 2 unit rackmount case that has major Hot-swapability in it's power supplies and harddrives.

If anyone know where's the place on teh net to go for good server gear. Hook a wolf up:)

Just out of interest...

Why do you want Hot-swapable PSU's?

So that you can hot-swap the dead one after the (ex)redundant one takes over, hence restoring redundancy for great justice.

I don't think I've seen many (if any) 1U cases with hot swappable PSU's. You generally have to go for 2U cases, and even then they're rather rare.

We usually go for name-brand servers at work (Dell, HP, IBM), so checking out their sites is all I could really do - but you might as well do that yourself if any of those brands interest you.

Thanks.. I keep looking though.

I pretty much want a barebone. I can stuff the rest in on a my own, probably cheaper that what is sold, but I need a good case.
