Found these today.

[modder man]

What do you guys think? I got the six of them for $200

Norco? How deep are they?

I see a dvd drive in the 1u, got anything else in them that might be interesting?

 

[modder man]

5 of them have dvd drives and they all have PSU's. 4 2U with 350watt and 1 with a 700watt

the cases are 25.5" deep

I wonder if you could swap the DVD in the 1U for a cheap hot swap chassis?

 

[modder man]

I would guess so, what would you want to do with the 1u? I was thinking of making it into a router.

I have a stack of SSDs on the shelf (been buying them for the main site benchmarks) so the idea of virtualizing a 1U router, making a router + SSD NAS box is a viable one

 

[modder man]

Could anyone confirm what kind of cases these are? there are no markins on them at all.

As previously mentioned they appear to be Norcos specifically the rpc-2008 and first gen from the trays. Not my favorite for sure but for $200 I think you did alright
