$250 is expensive. I've had to deal with the lack of 19" 2u,3u and 4u
cases costing more than the $50 they should. If somebody will take
autocad and layout a versatile 19"chasis design, I'll build them, as I
need about 10 for myself. I have to get 50 ($50) or $2,500 made up,
but, I'll take the hit on that, as I know I
can sell them for $50 each, with no power supply.
I'm not an autocad guy and all of the metal stamping places want
autocad files....
Somebody design a 19" chasis, and I'll get them built and sell them
for $50 plus shipping...
Any autocad drafters interested?
