I recently bought a couple of rack mount Macase cases. They seem sturdy. Some have filtered air. One has an external front accessible keyboard socket. All have a lockable swing up door preventing access to floppy. CD ROM and power switches. The bad points seem to be cost and they wont fit on the telescopic slides so I had to mount them on fixed rails. regards Steven -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
