Re: Low power, 1U devices
Antec has a 1U case, but has only 1 front 5.25 bay. I've found the Antec rackmounted cases to be of good quality, and have had good support from Antec's technical support. http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=94100 Steven Bowers wrote: Is anyone familiar with a company that sells a generic 1U case with one or two front, 5.25 bays? I've looked at calpc.com, and gtweb.net. The latter has a nice case, but only has a single 5.25 bay and their others have a combination of 3.5 and 5.25 bays. Alternatively has anyone tried to mod a Symantec VPN box and replaced its innards with something like a VIA board?

Re: Low power, 1U devices
Both ironsystems and bwi look to have potential. As an alternative I may consider building my own. Can anyone recommend a vendor who sells a 1U case suited for the VIA boards, with 1-3 front 5.25 bays, and no power supply?

Re: Low power, 1U devices
I've been reading up on the VIA Epia boards. Supposedly some that were built by nexcom.com were used at a previous hackathon. Is anyone aware of a vendor selling one of these boards in a 1U, rackmount enclosure with 4-8 front mounted ethernet ports; some sort of noiseless/fanless DC power supply and possibly a 20x2 LCD screen? Nexcom sells what they call a Nexgate 1041 which is close to what I'm looking for, but would prefer one of the low power VIA boards instead. Check out www.ironsystems.com. I have about 20 1U boxes from them that use the VIA Epia boards. And they pre-install obsd if that matters to you. -steve
