10-inch rack of happiness
I had a few Pi 5s and some Pi 4Bs scattered around my office and a mish-mash of various network gear. Got sick of it and pulled the trigger. Custom designed a 10-inch rack with laser cut 3mm panels and 3D printed accessories. Found a couple carrier designs for the gateway and switches online. Then brushed off my CAD skills and designed some custom Pi carriers. The end result? Joy.
Got a couple U7 Pro frisbees on the way to complete the kit and upgrading my fiber connection to 2.5Gbps once those are live to get all the giggly-bits over the wifi I can.
The whole kit:
- Five Pi 4Bs (PoE, USB fixed storage)
- Four Pi 5s (PoE, NVME storage)
- Two Flex 2.5G PoE switches
- One UCG Max
- One TerraMaster D5-300C (five IronWolf 6TB drives)
equals one happy me.
