Hi, Doug.
My suggetion is:
- start with good, standard but not-so-bulky case;
- build a cage around the commercial grade, made from thick
sheets of steel;
- do lots of small, tiny drills on the external cage, for proper
ventilation;
- do a couple of larger holes for cables and wires on

Back then, adding another channel meant buying another $275 SCSI card. Wasn't
on my radar.

Onboard IDE controller (pri and sec interface) and a Adaptec 2940 SCSI card.
No, I meant you could use more cont

I wonder if you could measure two things for me:
1. The thickness of the steel panels (not of any structural frame).
I'm comparing these with nor

Yes, I too at one time bought a huge case. Has 10 5.25 bays. Only problem is
that you can't use all of them due to cable length limitations.
Multiple controllers?
I have one of these, http://calpc.com/catalog/mid_tower.html, and its quite
beefy.

If anyone is interested, I have five of the cases at the following website for

Yes, I too at one time bought a huge case. Has 10 5.25 bays. Only problem is
that you can't use all of them due to cable length limitations.
With SCSI2, could use up to 4 prior to exceeding 36 inch cable limit. Then
could use two more for IDE. But the other 4, never could use.

In terms of pure computation, I believe a dual PPro200Mhz beats a Cray X/MP.

Yes, that would make a high-quality faraday cage

I'm wondering if in your travels, have any of you seen a case (tower,
desktop, or rackmount) that is:
Yes, but a very long time ago. Some of mine were by Zenith (or at least
delivered via Zenith) and weighed way too much, using something
outrageous liked 1/8" stee

The 2U and 4U rackmount Antec cases I've used in the past can be used
with only internal drives. The front panel door (and chassis slot
covers) are vented with small holes.
