[BBLISA] Need Homes: 2U+,custom cases/psupp/fans

[Doug Mildram]

A Westboro,MA giveaway: (Anyone teaching EE or Hobbies909?)
Free and basically new:  empty/nonstandard cases w/powersupp+fans.

A dead project has left homeless ~15 cases, 19" wide, 24" deep,
(19" wide == standard 18.5" distance between frontpanel mounting holes)
4.5" high == including .5" high rubber feet. (2U == 3.5", these are taller), 
semi-empty inside (a 13"x14"x3.5" area inside plus 6"x8"x3.5" near psupply)
19" rackmountable , BUT, ***** NOT ***** set up for PC-based motherboard:
does NOT include disk/floppy/usb brackets or any of THAT pc-ready stuff.

Each case has a 400W standard 12v/5v power supply,
and (4) 3.5" fans already mounted (side exhaust) inside;
a removable suitcase-strap-panel on the front as shown;
(see picture case_front.JPG URL below..but it hides the switches below)
also on front panel: 1 power switch; 2 LEDs, "Fan Fail" and "Power".

Even MORE Gory detail:
Each case has a custom (now useless) NONstandard screw-post 
arrangement which you'd need to re-do 
(re-drill new holes as needed, may need shorter posts).

So it's good if you have something REALLY CUSTOM you want mounted+powered.

If you ask for just the psupplies or fans, I'd be disappointed;
these babies (CASES) need an inventive home or homes.   -- doug mildram
