There is a rack mounted ST clone (without propriety chips) available in 
Germany for musicians (so no, you are not a fool).  As for doing it     
yourself, why not?  You may get a suggestion to call Tech-Specialities 
and ask about their CPU cases.  Don't, the company is bad news.  I think 
you can buy empty audio cases through the mail (I would try Computer 
Shopper).  A little drilling and gluing and bam, ST on wheels.
