Well, it's not much, as I seem to be moving from Sonar to Linux-based
stuff at a glacial pace - by no means due to problems with Linux - all
that's gone swimmingly - I just have too many unfinished products
laying around on the windows system - and for both aesthetic and
technical reasons i refuse to switch horses mid-record.
But anyway, here's a minute and a half of music I made for use in a
short film by a friend. Equipment used: a Shure SM58 and a Kawai K4r
run via cheap Behringer mixer into an M-Audio Delta 44 connected to a
p2.4g/512mb CCRMA box running Freewheeling - output to a windows box
running Sonar (gratuitous windows use due to increasingly antiquated
workflow), which I used only for a fade-out at the end (two hours
practice with Ardour would likely reduce my need for windows to nil.
Unfortunately, I'm spending those two hours learning how to play
drums.)

Just use Audacity to do the fades.

ah - right you are - thanks!
right now i'm using a linux box for synthesis/effects/looping, and a
windows box for recording/editing/mixing. having separate machines
for those task groups suits me very fine. i'm rather proud of my
conservatism in changing audio production systems, but after three
years lurking this list, a year or so of casually experimenting with a
linux audio station, and now a month or so of solid productive use,
i've certainly realized that the windows machine needs an exorcism. :)
a year or two ago someone on this list mentioned the stylistic
limitations imposed on musicians by the software tools they use. as
though different applications, like instruments, had specific idioms.
i believe they accused ableton of having a german techno personality
(no offense to fans of ableton or german techno - though i'll stick
with can). so, dig this - the reason i'm not recording/mixing/editing
on a linux box right now is that my current projects are built on the
stylistic limitations of my windows programs; it's my impression that
the linux programs have (certainly) different, but moreso (in my
estimation) LESS limitations than what i've been using, and so music
composed with them would not fit with what i've gotten done on the
windows box thus far.
i'm struck by the irony of my reluctance to move to a different system
due to its superior quality. it is artistically self-serving, though
- it encourages me to finish off what's sitting on the windows box,
and suggests that the stuff i do after that, on a linux setup, will be
that much better.
i guess i'm having trouble kicking the monkey off my back, but i can't
say it's the cure's fault!
new tools and instruments really make me happy. a borrowed drumset
and the linuxsampler/freewheeling/jack-rack combination have kept me
high for months now.

I am always looking for a computer case to fit into my
rack, but I never thought to get one that could just
sit on top!

I'd love to hear recommendations for a 2-4U rack-mounted case shallow
enough to fit in a typical audio gear rack (depth limitation of
14/15", as I recall.)

Is that deep enough to fit disk drives, an ATX motherboard and power
supply comfortably? You might find that a mini-ITX motherboard fits easier.

Go to http://www.partsexpress.com/
In the quick search box, enter rack chassis as your
search term, and in the results page, scroll down to
Pro Rack Acc. You will see "blank" 1, 2, and 3 space
rack mount boxes.
You can also go to eBay (Computers & Networking >
Desktop PC Components > PC Case, Tower for Desktop PC)
http://computers.listings.ebay.com/Desktop-PC-Components_PC-Case-Tower-for-…
Then enter the term rack into the search box. Just
now, I see 89 hits, including ATX cases ranging from 1
to 4 U.
