I'm in the market for the best rackmount case for an ATX motherboard.
I need redundant power supplies, and anything else to make this the
most fault tolerant case around. the more hot swappable things are
the better. can anyone make a recommendation? i haven't decided
on a motherboard yet -- i don't know if that matters.

Yes - plan on spending a lot of money:) I am in the process of build-
ing twin systems, an my first thought was to make them rack mount. I
called every place around here offering PC supplies, and the cheapest
(probably WITHOUT all the cool features you mention) was over $300.
Even "server-featured" tower cases are pretty high.

As long as it supports your processor choice it doesn't matter. I
like FIC and Asus, but I've never tried to run multiple CPUs.
