1u rackmount console

I'm after a slide out console drawer for our server rack with the following requirements:

Trackball rather than touchpad (i hate touchpads)
17" Screen
USB interface

Cheapest that comms express had was £749, can anyone recommend anything cheaper? The one i found was £200 more expensive for the trackball version which is a bit steep, but being a one off thing that will likely be sat there for a used long time i feel inclined to get what is comfiest to use rather than convenient on budget.

Any suggestions?

you can get touchscreen ones for £900

commsdirect did them last year

Oh that's tempting, anythings better than a touch pad :D Bring back the days of the nubben i say i much preferred using laptops etc with a nubben (aka the nipple :p don't ask why i call it a nubben)

I've got the old version of this which has got a nice trackball: 1U Rack Console | Dell

Had an issue with the KVM switcher it's connected to a couple of times, but the console itself has been solid. Not sure it's going to be any cheaper than £750 though! :(
