The 4U Rackmount cases are 350CHF over here (220USD).
There are no special things to look for. The 4U cases are pretty large. Don't hinder the normal airflow by the fans in the front and the Powersupply.
You just gotto know what you're doing in terms of RAID and removable drives...
It's a normal computer - some special hardware maybe and a 19" case...
And get a set of telescope ....... don't know how they're called but they make later maintenance much easier.
You might want to use a tape drive for backup. OR backup all servers over the network (full on weekends and just changed files every evening) with a backup robot.
