My friend Billy Bath of Telenet (billy@tesys.com) has been selling me
Integrand boxes (4U) for some years now, and he just recently commissioned
his own sheet metal.  He has a 2.5U case and also a 2U case, both with lots
of fans and with the option of dual/hotswap power supplies.  He'd probably
sell them as either raw components or as built systems.  For my part, I've
bought my last Integrand.  I just don't need that much airspace any more.
Billy's box is every bit as well made as the Integrand 590 is/was.

Disclaimer: Billy is a friend, so I would benefit indirectly from someone
believing any or all of the above.
