Re: [Sheflug] OT: Rack mount pc cases

Cheers, have had a look trhough, but mostly loads of people seller actual
servers rather than the cases .... servers are fairly cheap at like £250,
but to be honest i only want a case, and the cheapest ive eebn able to find
is about £200 from insight.... grrrrrr

Thanks for your help, if anyone knows another source for UK would be greatly
appreciated.

James
