Re: Need PC rack enclosure recommendations

Here's a 20":  http://www.rackmountnet.com/rmc/rmc_4u.htm

Just do a search on google for "rackmount chassis."  I've seen plenty of 
20"
out there.  Not many shorter than that though.  The problem comes when
you're trying to stick the PC in an SKB rack for mobile use.  Is that what
you're trying to do?  What rack do you have that has 20" of depth?

My rack mount chassis is 21" deep, and I have it mounted in a Gator
[GRC-10X6] console rack
(http://www.gatorcases.com/sections/prdct/prdct-proaudio.htm).  I have to
unplug the cables when the rack lids are on, but the chassis does fit in
there.  However, it is steel and heavy as a mutherfucker.

I started replying to your mail before I had really read it, so I'll post 
my
freak out reply, too.
