Need help with 1U server chasis stuff - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Amanita · 08-06-2003, 04:04 PM

Hey gang,

I am looking to switch over from an ATX tower form-factor to a 1U server form factor. I have a machine which is colocated using an old ATX tower .. but all the colocation places I have seen want the 1U style.

In short, I need help finding a place which sells a 1U chasis which will accept my ATX mobo. IDE HDD and network card.

Can anybody help?

check out supermicro bare bones cases, very well done. Be careful of "drop your own MB cases in" ventilation can be poor.

1U is very very thin, you might run into heatsink/memory sticking up to high problems.

I have used several 1u servers and i will never use them again. Heat is always a issue, especially if the server is in between other pieces of equipment. They are relativly un-scaleable, adding cards typically is maxed at 2 and HD are limited to 2 as well. I would come up with the space for a normal 5 or 6 space server.
