Y'know, I just had a thought: are there folks here who, when they say "server", are *not* thinking of rackmount servers?
Does it matter? 19" cases are very well thought out, easy to work on and fit nicely into the racks. You can always use something else and enjoy the disadvantages, but why would you.
