Heh, not likely; if you find a source, let us know.  I picked up a 
couple of ATX rackmounts at the SCC hamfest this spring; but I'm 
inclined to keep them.  I paid a few tens of dollars each, and that's
the best deal I've ever had on ATX ones.

The ATX desktop case at Fry's is about the right width for rack-mounting
if you make the front panel yourself and mount it on drawer slides from
Home Depot.  See http://www.bigfoot.com/~ecloud/journal/diy-rack/
(I need to find a better place to host that and then maybe I'll submit it 
to slashdot).

I'd like to find a place to get 1U cases that work with normal motherboards,
and a single-slot PCI riser card.
