Here is a diagram I just made of how I constructed my own rack-mounting enclosure from cheap and readily available components: the most expensive components were the telescopic drawer rails. The drawer rails are mounted to the enclosure and then the runners are simply screwed to the side of the machine chassis; if you then leave the lids off the machines, you can easily pull a machine out for maintenance.
WARNING: you must either counterbalance or attach this assembly or it will tip - over when you pull out a chassis!
I am currently looking at setting up a small company in UK with a view to providing at cost+miniscule margin distribution of linux software (other than core O/S) but this is obviosly reliant on demand being high.
There is currently little market knowledge about linux demand so this is something I will have to begin tentatively.
Whether or not I will be distributing the commercial packages will remain to be seen as, likewise, will the possibility of distributing to retail outlets.
There is so much excellent software under GPL already, its only getting better and yet, joe public and joe corporate user know nothing of it; yet it is they who could benefit the most.
BTW: Isn't it going slow on/. today? I guess most sysadmins have booked the day off for xmas:) Unluckily I have to work:(
You *will* need at least one conductive heater per box, they won't survive winter without them, (the heaters prevent internal condensation) As for casings, RS Components sell rated-seal enclosures for (fairly) reasonable prices, but at least you get a warranty for any leaks:)
otc: Wouldn't you be better off using line of sight optical networking? - is that possible?
Pentium_Number = Pentium_Number + 1 Give it a slightly larger instruction set, whack a bigger heatsink on it and overclock, stir, shake & Doo-doo-doo-doo - Its the processor every headless chicken buys
Sony Hitachi JVC etc RealMedia WinAmp X11Amp Quicktime *Microsoft* --might as well, everybody else does:) All these have made equipment or software capable of duplicating copyright audio

ATI seems to have a very definite anger in its product names.
*Rage* 128 *Fury* - whoa!
*Rage Pro* (how to be professionally mad?)
Is the next board going to be a buget version?: *Rage 128 Mildly-Upset*
And of course dont forget their next board:
*RAGE 256: HOMICIDAL MANIAC*
The applications are already there mate, it doesn't neccesarily take Bills Big Dollar Machine to promote anything. Lets just give it 12months eh? ;)

Its Intel's old marketing ploy back *again*
