Hi all,

I have a few computers that I'd like to throw in a rack or something in a
closet with an exhaust fan or a cooler (which I am also interested in).
However, I'd like to be able to access the drives (floppy, CD, zip, etc)
from the desktops and just have the main case with the hard drives and such
in the closet.

I have seen systems like IBM and NEC that have this type of configuration. I
am interested in how I might acquire this type of setup for my own machines.
I also need to know the usual length of the cable that goes between the two
boxes, because I have quite a run here between where I want the computers
and where I want the drives. The hard drives, of course, can stay in the
main cases.

I am running Windows NT or Windows 98 on all of the machines, if that's
important.

If you have any information, please contact me.
