cases

There are lots of case manufacturers for electronics equipment but in my experience it's all very boring and un-original. If you want something flash with all the meters and lamps on the front you may be out of luck. You could also look at the new small form factor PC cases that will include a power supply. Many ot these are designed for use in the livingroom. Most hi-fi cases are made specifically by the manufacturer to suit their house style. Try a second hand unit or ask a local repair shop if they have anything that isn't worth fixing?

Some external hard drive cases look quite smart. This next company has a 4 bay unit that looks like it might make a neat "mini tower" hi-fi system, and it's designed to take 5.25" CD drives. Not sure if power supply is internal or external (it's external in the single drive unit)....
