Just what I needed

This product is exactly what I needed. For those using a rackmount system this is a must if >1 Pi 4 is running, especially if you can use POE+. No fuss, no fuss, no AC/DC. Pros: - No need for AC/DC. If you're already using POE/POE+ on your switches, you no longer need USB-C power delivery. This was critical for me as the need to add more power to my rack makes the job harder. - I can run up to 4 PIs in 1U with all buttons, lights, slots etc right in front. This makes them very easy to maintain, access and reuse when needed. Cons: - If I had to be picky, I would name the price. However, considering the quality of the product, what it offers and the ease of use, I agree with what I paid, others may disagree. It comes with everything you need; Just add your own PIs. Bonus: The LCD panel is amazing. You load a C program, compile it, and run it at runtime. Very easy to make and the rack looks professional. The only suggestion here would be to show the hostname in addition to all the other details, but I can fix that with a label. To all those who speak out against gatherings. I understand that this device has gone through a lot of changes, but creating the version I have (as of August 2021) was very easy. In fact, half of the block is already assembled. All I had to do was assemble the Pi with daughterboards and cables, screw it in, and it was done. If you've ever assembled an Ikea kit or furniture, it was that easy. All in one device highly recommended.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Minor issues
