dual power supply in 1U starts at say $400 and goes upwards of $800
just for the power supply ... and you might wanna close your eyes
to UL issues if any ...


if you want a personal 1U ....
	- you'd be drilling/bending your own 1U chassis
	( it will be the cheapest and you'd get what you want )
	- even halted ( hsc ) has those $40 1U chassis (made of plastic)

if you wanna buy a real 1U chassis off the shelf ...
most of the manufacturers and resellers are listed and is about 
$100 - $1000 for a 1U chassis .. just depends on quality and features

- ebay is another place to find "good deals" from the .com crash
  the people are selling in 1-z-2-z's


- if you want ul/ce/fcc certified boxes .. double those prices ..
  but you wont get to change the mb/cpu/mem/disks as those changes
  voids the fcc/ul documentation
