Looking to move away from open rigs and I want to be ready if I decide to colocate in a data center. I'm an absolute newb when it comes to servers. Will a 4u fit gtx 1080 ti? I see the cases usually don't come with fans, are they just standard 120mm?
Also, a rack is the entire cabinet correct? What is the term for the individual case that holds a server/mining rig?
Thanks!

There are ones which are designed for 7 GPUs but they are all custom built and very expensive.
Really surprised nobody has DIY one yet.

If you're handy and don't mind doing your own mods, just buy any cheap case and mod it to work. That's what I ended up doing.
I'm having issues with temps, though. Couple of the cards keep getting up to 90C, even though they have the most space and the most air.

I measured and it wouldn't work with 5-6 GPUs inside, not enough room with the large PSU and everything. It would maybe work with 4 GPUs max and you would need fans everywhere to keep it cool.

@Guvn0r I've got them on metal grill shelving at the moment, building an open air setup this week. If I move to Amsterdam, I can only find that electricity is around $0.18 per kwh for consumers. Industrial is $0.08 so in a data center, my mining would be viable. Plus we'd be renting so using 2500 watts or more might cause problems. Si I figured I'd get on the cases now so I'd be ready when we need to move.
@Sportswood Those are nice, Rosewill doesn't sell in Europe though. That's the problem, EU has jack shit available. I miss newegg.

Those look really nice, and about 1/3 the price of the US reseller thanks!

Please post pictures once it is done, I am also trying to do a setup with 48-50 cards in one room..so space is bit of an issue, been looking for designs in this forum as well as in google. It will be really helpful if you can post some.
