My main goal for the project is not to have a rack-mounted ST for music
and sampling, but to simply free up the desk space that I have so little of
and to put all of my computer stuff in a portable and secure enclosure.
Someone mentioned their concerns about mounting a HD in the rackmout.  I 
don't plan on moving the computer when it is in use, so there should be no
problems with head crashes, etc.

I have looked into PC magazines to find info from companies who make 
rackmount and industrial versions of PC-clones.  Hopefully they will
give me some ideas.

Don't know when I'll get around to doing it, though.  Hopefully, within
the next couple of months.

Todd
