Racks and servers and HD's, oh my.

[Drew Van Zandt]

Oh, the motherboard I was referring to was:
http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=29#p1642

HOWEVER, to get it in a 1U you have to remove the back-panel sound I/O
connector.  Maybe you can find it somewhere (from DFI directly, if
your volume is large enough) without the connectors, or contract with
some PCB production guys to remove them for $X each...or find a
different MB.  I didn't see any others that nice, but then I stopped
looking once I found that one.  Couldn't find anywhere in the US to
order it, but the mini-itx.com guys are pretty good.
