[MLB-WIRELESS] help with hardware recommendations.

Paul,

Is the following restriction because you're using mini-itx boards?  Have
you looked into riser cards with multiple PCI slots - or is this because
you have a really-really little case?

You _may_ be able to fit two rack-based (1/2U) power supplies on top of
each other in a standard case.  Perhaps two 1U power supplies in a 2U
case?.. I've never seen anything like what you've described though.

Oh, BTW - does swinburne deal directly with Cisco?  - You've probably thought
about this already but they're probably the people to ask for wireless hardware :)


Cheers,


Carl
