    Mini-ITX rack cases from ICP

    Has anybody found a retailer stocking these ... they won't sell direct and the 230mm deep one looks just what I need !

    Cheers - Dave

      Thanks toscal, the C-159 looks close to what I want -- quite a bit pricier than the ICP one though, even allowing for the power supply. Especially as I was thinking of getting more than one.

      What amazed me is that ICP emailed me to say they are trade-only, but then followed up that they didn't know of anyone actually retailing their cases. You'd think in this day and age companies might actually want to *sell* their products !! Presumably they are selling them to someone ???

        You are not the only one to have this problem. I have had similar problems with other companies. A lot are only interested in selling more than one or getting repeat business, which normally means trade customers.
        Have you tried contacting Travla direct.

          I noticed that Linitx are stocking the PackBox, which look much like one of the ICP products, which implies that they have an existing trading relationship. I wonder if they'd get a few ? I did ask ICP whether they had minimum order value/quantity so I could see if I could find a friendly trader to get me some, but as yet no reply.

          I might try to see if Travla have anything shorter.

            We can probably order some in, now we have moved to larger premises we have enough room and we are increasing the lines we stock.

            Can you drop an email to shop@linitx.com if you are interested and we can follow up directly.

                Order placed

                Could this be the end of the cardboard box computer ?

                    Not exactly a review, but here's a short write-up of the case in question.

                      I can recommend http://www.avrio.co.uk/acatalog/shop.htm - I'm running two 1.5U DS16180 and a 2U DS27250 in my wall-mount 9U rack that sits in th e loft - you may need to buy ATX extension and/or 24-20pin adapters depending upon what you're puttin in them.

                        Yes - I've got one of the 2U AVRIO cases. They are not bad at all, but the ICP ones have the edge on build-quality, I think.
