Ah, if you're wanting an *open* case, then why not just screw the
motherboards onto standard rack shelves? That's how the Centurion II
cluster was done at the University of Virginia. The vendor who thought
it up was a small company called Atlantek. That was 2U/motherboard
because we needed a couple of PCI and benders weren't cheap yet. At 2
motherboards per U, getting the cooling right is a bit more difficult.
That's why I advise pricing cases from the vendors who sell cases.
