Why not take a 4U 19" case with a blank front panel and mount a
"Mini Tower"
Pc case inside it laid flat. Cut a couple of holes in the front panel for
the CD & Floppy and for around 40 quid and a bit of effort you have a
rackmount PC.

I plan to do a similar thing with a 2U case and a few LED's to make my
HomeVision look like a Crestron Minisystem. A 2U case will also have enough
space for the HV expansion boards and an auxilliary power supply for the
other things that need power.

I have been looking for ages for a cheap 19" to take a ATX motherboard
4U,
