This is a 1U chassis - the bare chassis is 500$ (with motherboard, 
floppy, cdrom, power supply) the rest I added myself. And if you know 
where you can get a proper 1U rackmount bare bones box for less I'm all 
ears..... (if you can I'll be surprised - I've been building PC's from 
scratch for as long as PC's have existed - before that it was S100 
system - before that it was truely from scratch :-)
