Actually, I think the music industry is quite fair regarding pricing, as long as you use online stores such as Musician's Friend or Sweetwater. Regardless, I chose a rackmount case from ICS/Advent recently http://www.icsadvent.com/products/chassis/c4chassi s.html and I am quite pleased with it. Very sturdy, 4 drive bays, 240 watt power supply, two 104mm fans, etc. You have to get a quote from these guys...they are used to bigger companies buying in bulk, but they sold me an individual one for about $330. I have a personal studio and rackmount is definitely the way to go for computers and all equipment.
