Been dying to build a mini rack. BUT, the only thing that stops my build. Is the lack of a disk shelf. How awesome would it be if you can squeeze in a disk shelf link it up to the mini itx board and you're off to the races! A disk shelf for six 3.5" drives 🤤It would be like squeezing a Jonsbo N3 case into the rack.

10" racks are common run Europe, mainly due to racking low powered devices as electricity is expensive. I have had one for the past 9 years they are great to keep everything uncluttered.

I live near Boston, which is not Texas,. Summer here tries its best to fake it. Room temps in the 80s with effective temps pushing 100 degrees at times. Without AC is very cruel to traditional Mini PCs. I can see such a rack as a center for my Raspberry Pis wearing only good active cooling. I see my Pi 4s as servers with Pi5 as a master node. Now the Pis are in individual cases. A proper rack would help organize them for 24/7 use. Mirrored drives would give me better data protection and central data storage service. I would also like to monitor my systems from a Pi node so I could shut stuff down before heat freezes it. Thanks for the video.
