[sdiy] 19" rack enclosures/cases vs. the US

[Marvin.Jones at nokia.com]

Mid Atlantic products has 2 series of rack chassis.  

http://www.middleatlantic.com/

Sweetwater seems to be cheapest for their "EC" line.  (6" deep) 
Markertek seems to be cheapest for their "CH" line.  (10" deep)

Hope tht helps,
