Since I have never built a rackmount server I was hoping to get some imput frome someone who might be able to give me some suggestions.

It will be used in a small buisness with less that 10 computers.

It will be running a coustomer and billing database as well as running XP server for the computers on the internal network.

looking at running a scsi controler with a mirrored raid array.

I am also looking at putting a removable HDD bay in it for data backup.

Redundant power supplies are not necessary.

Budget is around $3,000

I see a lot of cases and was wondering if any one had any recommendations.

Anything I should take into account that would be different than building a desktop PC? TIA
