Large capacity and compact

I like that you can install 12 RPi 4 in this rack. I use a switch with 16 PoE ports (plus two Ge uplinks) to power them and a set of large fans to keep them cool. The only thing I would like to see is a mounting plate suitable for the RPi 3B+ model. I still have plenty of these and could use them in this rack for tasks that don't require the extra power of an RPi 4, such as: B. an Ansible controller or an MQTT broker.

Pros
  • Detachable front mounting bracket can be installed separately and removed from the front for maintenance.
Cons
  • Some cons

Good idea. Corrupt theme.

First of all I want to keep the product itself. But there are design flaws that need to be fixed. The blades are shaped in such a way that they must be fixed from behind. This means that replacing the SD card on the Pi becomes a hassle. The wing extension must be removed from the blade to allow front mounting. And the thread gauges should be on the faceplate, not the blade. I will most likely start using Sandisk Ultra Fit USB sticks to solve this problem. Second, the more uniform cutout on the…

Pros
  • Made of aluminum alloy, painted with matt black powder paint, nothing breaks off, paint chips, sharp edge spacing (plate corners are rounded, smooth).
Cons
  • Periodicity

Decent pi rack mount but quite unreliable and missing parts

I like that you can mount 12 Pis with this 2U bracket. However, he is kind of spongy. The screw holes are actually poorly drilled, making it difficult to get the black screws in to attach the Pi to the front of the rack. I was also missing 3 black screws. Normally 4 stars but 3 stars for lack of details.

Pros
  • Thumbscrew, high quality metal material and the thumbscrew on the handle is screw-in, which helps you install and replace quickly and easily, no tools needed!
Cons
  • too blunt
