    Nice find.
    I saw the dual boards on single PSU trick before. and I think its a good idea.
    I am in the process of getting all my KG7s in a rack that would hold them all, like in the pics. :thumb:
    Now I have some material to reference to.

      Check Helpful Links for "Farmers.", which in my opinion deserves a sticky. But alas. :(

          Thanks. I have plenty more to add, but if it isn't a sticky, what's the point? Tried the same thing in a few other topics, but no luck.

                      I don't actually have one so I can't say for sure, but from what I've read, rack cases, shelves, rails and other accessories are pretty expensive. But if your just going ot be using normal tower cases and just keeping them in the rack, your fine :)

                        You'll just be using it as a rack to hold the boards you have? I think you will find that filling it with 1, 2 or 3U cases and their respective hardware will be cost prohibitive. The cabinet may help to keep things neat an tidy, though.

                          Actually what I am planning on is using shelves that are like 1or2U and mounting the mobo to it. I dont need each case to be locked, as the whole cabinet will.
                          Its 42U so I will have plenty of room.
                          btw, Shelves are available for like 20bux. Which is a lot cheaper than the $50 price tag on a good case with decent airflow.
                          Also since the guy Im buying this thing from is in the rackmount bussiness, he has anything and everything that I will need. And is a good hookup too, conisdering that the rack im getting is only 100bux.

                              :eek: that is awsome, me likes very much :D It would still cost a pretty penny, but that would be some serious cunching power :lips:
