After designing this minicase I immediately knew I wanted to apply the same design language to my rack.

It features drawers (front only), cable channels on the sides, rack rails on both front and back, removable side panels, a door with fan mounts and magnetically removable dust filters.

It needs some polishing before sharing the STL, but I think it already looks pretty nice.

    From the top:

    • 3 Chinese 2.5Gbit managed switches branded Horaco
    • 3 Chinese N100 “NAS” ITX boards (the cheaper green ones). They are in a Proxmox hyperconverged cluster (HCI)… aka Proxmox + Ceph.
      • Each one has a Pico PSU
      • a PCIE card (mounted on an right angle PCIE extender) with 2 additional 2.5Gb realtek NICs
      • 2 NVMe drives (mirrored boot drives)
      • a SATA SSD for Ceph
    • an empty shelf for a ITX board (an AM4 with a bunch of NVMe drives I have yet to move from my previous rack)
    • the last shelf can accomodate:
      • an automotive power distribution that feeds 12V to the switches and the N100 boards
      • a couple of 12V to USB PD boards, that I use to power the type c devices on the Rack shelves on the back
      • a (missing) TFX PSU that will power the AM4 board
      • a second TFX PSU that feeds 12V into the distribution blocks and powers basically anything else.

    I also have some rack shelves on the back:

    Needless to say I bought everything before the DRAM craze and I feel very sad for who has to work with the current market.

    Everything is mounted on custom 2U or 3U 3D printed 10" rack shelves.
