Looking for 1u Chassis with Front I/O
Hello there,
For our next batch of servers we are looking for a chassis that has front I/O ports. We mainly want it to keep all the power on the back and all the network cables, etc. on the front to keep things a bit cleaner.
So far, the only one I found is the SuperMicro SC513 seris and the Rack Logic systems. The Rack Logic ones are a bit pricey and the SuperMicro ones only hold one hard drive. We need to be able to hold at least two hard drives and the cheaper the better, though it should have a decent PSU, any suggestions?
Note: The depth of the system doesn't matter, we don't need these half-depth ones.Last edited by KarlZimmer; 08-15-2005 at 05:13 PM.

I've only seen custom solutions in production... one design was quite interesting... even had an IDE socket and molex on the front lined up so you could plug a hard drive right into the front for ghosting, ect, reverse motherboard, and power on the back. I'll ask around and see if I can find some leads.
bye

The only thing I see is the sc513 that has 2x2.5 drive bays. the other sc513 is a 260 with a 1x3.5 bay.
