does anyone know where i can get an aluminum box about 13inx9inx4in approximately, anything close will work. thanks

4" wide? I 've never heard of anything that thin other than maybe a slimtop? No aluminum slimtops I've ever seen either.

no no no, 4" tall not wide, and ive seen something like that at a uk site called mapplins or something, but i need a place in the good ol' U - S of A

Oh...That is a very weird size I haven't seen anything like that...My aluminum case is 23" tall so not much help there...Wait actually you mean like the old workstation cases?

sounds like a 1-2U case....searching for link....

2U

also 2U

These are rackmountable ofcourse

good luck, goto pricewatch like so: pricewatch for 2U

hope that helps

i think your talking about shuttle-x computer cases. Those are tiny SOB. i think my next project will to make one of those. Then my next project might be dual xeons, speed baby. But u can find some more info on the shttle-x
