Server Cabinets or Racks

[Leonard, Phil]

The rack mount cases tend ot have better air filtration also.  Mine are in a
fairly dusty environment and they are surprisingly clean on the inside.  I
have to clean the filters often though.

You and get some good buys at:

But yes, you are still talking about several hundred dollars each.

All of my stuff is rack mounted and as far as the CPU's, with the rack
cases you (at least I feel) get better cooling. On the systems that most
people have cooling is not a problem. But when you start over clocking a
dual processor board, heat becomes a real issue. 

Also with rack mounted stuff everything is in one neat enclosure.
