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.
