[sdiy] 1U rack cases

[harry]

Also try www.sescom.com for their rackmount cases. They are made
of extrusions and blank aluminum panels. I've used three so far and
am very impressed with the results.   You use the channels provided
in the extrusions to capture small 4-40 nuts to mount the PCBs without
holes in the exterior of the case.
