A standard mini or full tower case will also fit two to a shelf - you 
just have to allow more room for the shelf.  Where possible, go for 
slimline desktop cases or mini towers.  If you're stacking vertically, 
only stack two or three to a shelf.  More than that makes maintenance a 
pain.

Please don't go buying rack-mount cases - they're over priced and under 
featured.  Just the kind of thing you want to impress customers with, 
but not much use otherwise.
