    Rack mount PC case?

    I'm looking for a good rack mount PC case for home. It wont be a server. It needs good vents and dust filters. What do people use?

              No, I haven't. This it? Though looking on their site, I don't see anything that is rack mount.

                  You havent said what you plan to do with it?

                  If it is for home use why do you want a rack mount? Also, how many drives do you plan on using inside of it? You might want to consider a case with hotswap HDD bays

                    Just what I said, a PC (personal computer). The reason for the rack mount is because I have a rack already in my office for my audio equipment.

                                              As I said in my first post, I'm asking what people have used or using. Do you have a case recommendation?

                                                  The best search term for finding a case on ebay would be "4U" or "2U". An example would be like this nice 4U case.

                                                    I'm looking for specific recommendations on a case, not on how to find them ;-).
