Real rackmount cases are expensive. I checked out a few some months back, and 
modern 1U/2U rackmounts are UKP500+ bare (i.e. no CPU, RAM, disk). For a 
slightly larger rackmount it is quite cheap to buy a PII rackmount (usually 
3U), or maybe even dual PPro on ebay. Try the Servers or Unix categories.
