A quick little note of "Wow!" to pass on: I just bought a 4U rackmount
server case for my company.  The darn thing can take up to 16 3.5" hard
drives, -and- a 5.25" slim-line CD-ROM -and- a 3.5" slim-line floppy
drive.  It's got really nice design, lots o' fans for your cooling,
etc.  Of course, it's not cheap ($1500, before CD-ROM and floppy), but
it's one of the nicest cases I've ever seen, regardless of vendor.  The
one I'm talking about is an IDE model; they also have a SCSI.  I'm
planning on putting eight drives in with a 3Ware controller initially,
with room to expand if/when required.  Check it out at 
http://www.servercase.com/ImageFiles/SC4D.html .  Note one thing -- they
say "Only works with IBM or Seagate."  I asked them why, and they
responded that it was a problem with the connectors not mating properly
on other drives.  Well, I took the plunge, and bought it anyway.  So
far, at least, it seems to  be fitting my Maxtor 160's just fine.  If I
run into any issues, I'll be sure to let you guys know.

-Ken

P.S.  I know that other vendors sell the same box, but this was both the
cheapest, most comprehenseive, and most responsive vendor that I found.
