Possible of course. But I'm not sure if there will be sufficient orders. The
main problem will be the price. As you can see that the price difference
between the A-100P9 (Euro 460) and the A-100P6 (Euro 390) is not that much
(Euro 70 only). The same would apply to an "A-100P3". The price for such a
case would be in the Euro 320 price range. The reason is that the basic
stuff (power supply, power supply cover, mains inlet, many of the rails and
ball corners of the case and so on) is the same for all cases
(A-100P3/P6/P9). We had an A-100G3 available but stopped the production
because the inquiries were very poor. I fully understand the users because
the price per height unit is much better for the larger cases (about 150 for
the A-100P9, about 200 for the A-100P6 and about 320 for the A-100P3).
During the last months even the sales of the 6U cases (A-100P6, A-100LC6,
A-100PMS6) decreased clearly in favor of the 9U cases (A-100P9, A-100LC9,
A-100PMS9). In the meantime we sell about twice as much 9U cases than 6U
cases.

Conclusion: a single 3U 84HP case could be manufactured but I'd not expect
many inquiries because of the comparatively high price.

Best wishes
