Ok, I've determined that I really want a rackmounted (1U) USB/FireWire Hub. I've also come to accept that this does not currently exist. Could anyone recommend a place to get a rackmounted enclosure that I could cut into to hack this thing together?

why would you want something so huge?
when there are much smaller things of the same type avaliable?
L-com and B&H are usually good places to find rack-mount parts & pieces.
I'm not clear exactly on how you're going to wire this thing, but if I was going to roll my own I'd probably start with one of these and populate it with a bunch of these and these .
If you're looking for a case type 1U thingy with a power supply, Granite Digital sells one for 99 bucks (scroll down a bit). I'm sure with a handful of FW/USB couplers and some 'creative' dremel skills you'll have a nice little box.
