i guess my topic is clear enough. i recently did the wood work for my room, and i didnt go for tower style, but i went for the rack style computer section.
the size is just 21/2" i.e. 2.5 inches. can i get a good decent horizontal cabinet or rack based, so i can stuff these 4 motherboards in that 2.5 inch gap?

i dont need a tower cabinet, i need a horizontal/sleeping cabinet, any recommendations? and whats the form factor. and remember i got only 2.5 inches between each column.
suggestions please, as which one i should buy and also how much will be the price.

conditions apply: :-D
*IT HAS TO BE FLAT/HORIZONTAL AND MUST BE WITHIN 2.5 INCHES*
thanks

any hint? or do i need to get out of slumber and go to ritchie street/radio bazaar/narsinghapuram to go and hunt?
man i feel lazy when ecommerce is introduced. home IT shopping.
i will go to bazaar tomorrow and check out the price and see if these mobos fit in. and my height max is 2.5 inch (3.0 inch so .5 inch for air flow).
i will go to market tomorrow and see how many i can hunt and shoot.
remember the nes game duck hunt. lets see if i get lucky. and against which mobo are you looking for a rack? if you let me know i can go and enquire tomorrow.
