I need to find a source for an empty "shoebox". By shoebox, I mean a an external case and power supply, into which I can mount some fairly strange peripheral devices. Up until now, I've just left everything hanging out, but the system is going to move, and proper casings are required. I've tried several magazines, but all I've found so far are PC cases. While this will work, I know that there are manufacturers who sell full-height boxes which take a single tape drive (e.g. an Exabyte) or a full-height disk, which would be ideal. I remember an exhibitor at Comdex 3 years ago, who sold just these things, but of course I can't remember who... the only thing that sticks in my mind is that they had a name like "JBL" or "JDS" or something, and were maybe in California. Any help would be appreciated, (by mail, preferably), Cheers, Malcolm.

Half- and Full-height drive cases with PSU were available from Hi-Tech Asset Recovery about a month ago. (about $150 I think). Their TelNo is (805) 966-5454, Fax: (805) 966-2354. Good luck.
