Just as with "cheap, fast, reliable: pick two", rackmount cases come in
"cheap, 1U: pick one"  :-)


A decent 1U ATX case _without_ PS can run $400 or more if it has decent
internal mounting options, good air-flow design, and such.  Any PS small
enough for a 1U chassis and with any oompf at all will only cost more
too.
