Hi,
I'm planning to buy a rack mount case for my computer. I would like to have your suggestions about the new features of rack mount. Is button mount an additional feature? Will the cost for the additional features be high? I thought of buying a rack mount from our near by area(http://www.bayviewmetals.com/sample-work/telecommunications-rack-mount-equipment/). Before buying, I like to have your expert opinions.
Thanks in advance

You have a current, tower case computer that you are wanting to swap to rack mount? If so, then you probably need a 4U case so that the standard PCIe cards will fit. I would look for one with dual hot-swap power supplies. Why go to rack mount if you don't take advantage of the "server" type features.
