rackmount cases aren't tall enough. at best they are 7.5 inches (4U). there's hardly any 5u rackmount cases and none windowed. so i decided to go with a regular case that's about 17 inches wide (if laid down) that could allow for me to install rackhandles. i have 2 sets of rackmount handles.
the problem with finding a case about 17" and that isn't too long to fit in a rackmount has proven to be a lot impossible. so far only the in win dragon slayer has been close to what i want in dimensions.
i looked at the 350D and it would also be perfect if i could get rid of it's feet. but to get rid of it's feet i'd have to get rid of the front panel.

so i've just been looking at ppls cases to get ideas of what i want.

i liked the d-frame but at $400 it's too much. and it's too open. my budget is about $150. anything in between if it just calls me. as i'm looking i'm thinking of getting different than the usual.

i just hope more manufacturers come up with similar designs as the d-frame and corsair 540.

i will be spending more time in the mod case subforum and see what else is there and maybe even just build or mod one myself...

I can't be of much help here... Maybe look at some HTPC cases(Such as this SilverStone case, this Lian Li case, or even this Fractal Design case), as they make them in similar dimensions to a receiver/amplifier.

My build's main purpose is going to be music, and I'm going to be using the Noctua NH-L9i CPU cooler with a 65-watt TDP processor. I won't need crazy cutting edge performance, as all I'll really be doing is multi-tasking (such as say listening to music and editing photos.) The processor it self is actually quite over-kill for my needs. And if you're not over-clocking, you really don't even need an after market cooler. They're just nice to help keep noise levels down. Which, then again, if it's off and in a rack, and you're mainly listening to music, you may not hear it anyways.

My little set up will have an Intel i7 4770S CPU, with the before-mentioned cooler, and also I'm skipping out on a GPU (using integrated graphics as it will be more than plentiful; powerful enough to do three displays at once on the new Haswell platform) and put in an ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card.

Anyways, hoped that helped some what. Maybe go the daring route, find a good looking, old amplifier/receiver you like the look of, and personally modify the internal yourself to fit components in!

my plan was to get the 3770k ivy so that it's powerful enough to do anything and have my 6970 do the video and together run 2 more monitors off the igpu but it's not panning out as i planned. the ivy igpu is very buggy and even though motherboard has 3 outputs only 2 can work at the same time --vga and displayport/dvi. the displayport and dvi can't even run my 30" and completely messed up my plan and now i might have to get a smaller gpu to run it. or just treat myself and crossfire some nice gpus since the board can handle it. and being that haswell isn't much better than ivy i doubt haswell will be able to run 3 monitors. but at least with haswell you still have intel supporting it. in my case i doubt they're gonna unlock ivy igpu or stabalize it.

overkill for my pc makes it very efficient for me cause i can do plenty of things at the same time. right now i'm at the store and when i go to my rig which is at the other side of the building of the store i can do a lot more stuff and watch the store at the same time (teamviewer). since the store is slow in the afternoons i can also jam a little bit.
and yesterday i game for the first time 3xeyefinity and it was way better than when i had the phenom ii x4 965 3.4ghz (+ 8gb) (same 6970) with all monitors up (one dead).
ivy intel 4000hd is very unreliable. shouldn't even be available for the 3770k version.

I believe they were going more for the not needing a gpu than it works just like your gpu. Just run 2 6970 and no crossfire, that along with the gpu's will do what you want.

Ivy bridge can only run two displays off the integrate GPU. Haswell is the first to be able to run three of iGPU.

If you're using music, what do you need so much power for? Also, unless you're over clocking (which you probably shouldn't be, considering space & heat factor being inside a rack with other electronics) why not just settle with the non-K? (unless you already purchased it.)

for now my plan is to have the case in a rackmount but if i settle for a desktop design more than tower plans will change.
i went for the k version cause i want to start right cause it's gonna be a while til i upgrade. i also got it for cheap. very cheap. also cause i'm on overkill.n i mean overclock.net. it's also nice to have the option to overclock if or when i do.
the phenom 965 3.4ghz served me well. i got it in 2009 til a few days ago. i'd have actually kept it had the motherboard been able to take more than 8gb. but it was about that time to move to treat myself and get on the intel platform.

i also edit my own photos and videos too for promo and the 965 was struggling with everything up. i like everything up. i don't like closing or minimizing anything. i use all browsers all with tens of tabs still up. and different projects half done...

intel 6 cores are out of the question cause they're too expensive for me at the moment.




right now before i get a cpu cooler i'm studying cases. i cant get a cooler yet cause my current case isn't wide enough... can't be water cause it's a mobile rig.
