I'm thinking about rack mounting my pc, will most rackmount server accept my stuff ? Or is
this stuff all arcane and shit ? I have a small intel board.

1. many racks are designed to be shallow in height to maximise rack space, and cannot use silent coolers cos they aren't tall enuff inside... noise isnt an issue in a server room so they might not be tall enuff inside
2. rack server power-supplies.... usualy hot-swappable but not designed for noise and the special rear case mounting slots for swappable p/s's isnt able to accept a standard p/s unit
so it maybe you have to buy a specialy dedicated 'media pc' rack which costs more but will allow use of a tall cooler and quiet p/s

This seems more like it price wise - 69 QUID! you gotta add rails kit (25 quid) and get a quiet psu obviously - it seems to come with 9 X 5.25" bays and you can get an optional 3.5" h/d bays kit but you could sled mount the h/d's & not bother with the hotswap 3.5 bay kit cos it's not like you're gonna want to hotswap anyways... sled kits are a few quid each (a sled kit is 2 x simple brass adapter bracket)
