Rack-mounted Case Suggestion

[SynergieOfficial]

Hi,

 

I know when you say rack-mounted case, you automatically think about servers, thats not the case (ghe ghe, no pun intended  )
I work for a Light and Sound company and we often have to setup Bars and Clubs with their fixed sound/light systems. To do the lighting and equalizing we use the controls via a PC, and we find it very convenient to mount that PC in the same rack as the Sound Amps , Sound controllers , DMX splitter , Artnet controller, etc ... . 

So i used the Chietec UNC-410S-B before , but its a bit too big. and i do always use a SSD in those rig's and there is no other way than "macgyver" a way to mount it.
8/10 Rigs i need to build in these situations (the smaller bars/clubs) are just a Mobo , CPU (stock cooling), Ram , PSU and SSD. in the more demanding situations i need to add a GPU and Network Card.


Any suggestions for a more fitting case ? 
 

Thnx in advance

I recently built a rack-mount server with this case: PlinkUSA IPC-G252S. It's a 15" long 2U rackmount chassis for a full-size ATX board with the option of getting a PSU with it (they'll pre-install it if you do). For the CPU cooler I used the Noctua NH-L9A (there's also the NH-L9I for Intel processors). The fans on the chassis are Yate Loon 60mm fans, and can be quite loud. I'm not sure how much that'll interfere with your needs, but I switched them out for Noctua 60mm fans. This case can also fit a low-profile graphics card and network card for those times you need one of those.
