10" Racks

[Subliminal Aura]

Any one gone 10" for their home network ?

All I see is the GeeekPi 8U Server Cabinet - are there any other options ?

Something like this

and shelf brackets are cheaper if that's your plan

It's certainly more expensive mate than going full 19" as most of the kit is sized for 19"
I run minipc hypervisors so it makes more sense for me. Full size switch is next door next to the node0 where all the structured cabling is, so I only need to provide a couple of uplinks to it from the minirack

It is annoyingly not straight forward making a custom UPS - trying to avoid designing it entirely from scratch - but there is a lack of pre-built 12V lithium charge boards and the ones that do exist are mostly very poor, best of a bad job seems to be the XL4015 boards (and a BMS as required). Probably doesn't help there aren't many options for a 12V charger IC. Ideally want to use off the shelf 12V LiFePO4 batteries.

Trying to avoid something messy like multiple 18650s and individual TP4056s or something hacky like reusing a solar charge controller and bypassing MPPT and/or making the input compatible with PWM.

Yup, current UPS won't fit but maybe more options with the larger DeskPi RackMate T2

Thread starter but I've dumped this idea and am nearing the completion of a solar powered rack
