Htpc rack recommendations?
#1
Anyone recommend a htpc rack mount case? Planning to put several xbmcs on a middle atlantic rack and was curious if anyone has done this.

I'm using a Norco RPC-231 2U rack mount case for my XBMC HTPC. I'm very happy with it. I did have to drill some holes in the top for more cooling and add an 80mm fan as I disconnected the 3 40mm fans which are very loud. Here's a link:

If you have any questions, let me know.

Not too worried about the fan noise, since it will be in an equipment room.
Looks good, does this require low profile hardware?

Yes it does. Low profile video card and aftermarket CPU cooler are a must. I'm using integrated graphics on an AMD A8 CPU and a Scythe Shuriken CPU cooler.
