First of all, Gigabyte GA-K8N won't fit to any 1U chassis because of the
on-board audio port. The audio port is taller than a standard 1U height (
1.75") chassis. Unless you physically remove the audio port from the board,
you won't be able to fit it in a 1U chassis. You might want to consider
Athlon 64 boards made by Soltek (Model#SL-K8AV2-R/SL-K8AV2-RL). The boards
do not have vertically aligned audio ports. They will fit nicely into a
standard 1U chassis. Check out http://www.soltek.de



Secondly, you will need a power supply that supports at a minimum of 300W
power. I have seen some very nice 1U chassis with AMD 64 support on
rackmount.com. http://www.rackmount.com/Chassis.htm



Third, you will need a very good 1U CPU cooling fan for the Athlon 64 board.
Check out Frostytech CPU heat sink reviews. There are many 1U CPU fans
listed. http://www.frostytech.com



Hope this help!

Hi,

What board is best for a 1u rackmount case? Im initially looking at
Gigabyte GA-K8N..

The case im looking at takes standard atx boards, so is there anything
else
to consider? will the 200w psu be enough for a 3200 Athlon 64 and 2 sata
drives?

Thanks!
Dan
