Which half-rack 1-2U chassis should I choose?

Question

Iron

A couple of years ago I ordered a 10 "patch panel and 7U racks for it from the Chinese .
Then I packed modems into the case from the old Juniper SRX100B, which serve as the core of the network and added a D-link gigabit switch for 8 ports. Total occupied 3U out of 7.
I would like to place a home server with a NAS function in the remaining space, but I can’t find suitable cases.If
there are not expensive 1U cases, I think to install a basket for 2.5 HDD and a PCi-raid controller in one case, and pack the server hardware in the second. I think they are a PCI-raser cable or an e-sata cable.Tell me
where you can find inexpensive cases or make everything beautiful in some other way?

Answer 1

It is not entirely clear why exactly to fence two buildings .. As I understand it, your main limitation is depth? Then build on this parameter when choosing a case. River hulls are different, you will surely find something.
Here is an example .
