Around 4U is the wide of a tower. I guess the mobo and cards only fit to 4U high, even 3U might be to small. Perhaps a 19" case idea isn't good due to the cooling, OTOH just small sidewalls (equivalent to a tower's base and top) are surrounded by the cabinet/rack walls. Above and below the 19" computer case I could keep many units empty, which also might be needed regarding to shielding issues, when mounted to an audio cabinet/rack. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
