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.
