Front removable PiRack with Thumbscrews

Very nice way to organize your pi's. Works well in our environment with a standard size rack. One thing I would absolutely recommend is finding some cables that work at a right angle. Makes things much easier to organize and fit together. Overall, a good value for the right situation. Little lighter than what I wanted but it seems to be holding up overall.

Nice 1U panel that holds 4 RPIs. My Pi's are mounted safe and secure! The thumb screws are a really nice addition. They're mounted to the frame that slides into the rack and are spring loaded. It's nice to not have to worry about loosing these or them shooting across the floor if you drop one. The fit is tight and right. Everything fits perfectly. I have a Pi4b and two Pi5's loaded in the rack now and it gives them a nice professional fitting where they're safe from being knocked around or dropped. I guess you can fit a hard drive underneath but I couldn't get my seagate to fit - it is a usb portable, so there's a case that increases the height of the drive. a standard internal hdd would probably fit though. One drawback is that the mount standoffs are part of the individual mounting frames for the pi's. If all you're doing is mounting a Pi with nothing that needs extra space it'll work fine. But my Pimoroni ssd card that mounts under the Pi pushed everything out of the way. Tried different mounting configurations but really is meant to be mounted the way the manufacturer wants it to be mounted. In the end I just cut them off and used ordinary standoffs.

Good value for a niche rack mount solution. Buying a second one right now. Other reviewers had a bad experience using PoE hats in conjunction with the rack but I had no such issues using the UCTronics brand PoE hat. Don't have others to try but it works well with their own hat. The only issue is that you can only use two of the four screws to mount the board to the tray, as the other two screw holes are covered/used by the hat. You can do it if you have longer screws with the same threads but the ones supplied with the unit won't go through a hat, spacer and pi to reach the tray.

I just installed four Pis in this case. While the case is designed for the Pi 4 B, the Pi 3 B and 2 B fit in it, too and I suspect the four-USB-port Pi 1 B+ will fit into it too. (The original Pi 1 probably fits too, but would have some empty space around the USB ports.) The boards mount securely to little daughter cases using supplied screws (mine came with two more than the sixteen required). On the bottom of each daughter case is room for a 2.5" hard disk or solid state drive, and screws are supplied for this as well. You'd need to supply your own USB 3.0-to-SATA-and-power cable/interface, and you'd need to ensure that your power supply had enough amperage to properly power both the Pi and drive, but this is a nice touch. The four daughter cases connect to the main rack-mountable portion using thumb screws that also have Phillips heads in them, in case you need help loosening them. Running the power cables to the Pis is a bit tricky, so you may want to connect them before you put the whole thing into your rack. The status LEDs of the Pis will be invisible using this case, since they'll be inside the rack, but the Ethernet ports are fully exposed at the front of the case, along with the USB ports. You can, of course, see the network traffic LEDs easily from the front, so have a pretty good idea if your Pis are functioning okay. There is limited space to label anything, but I was able to put some labeling machine labels on the case vertically with machine names, so I know which is which. This is a nice case. It's not super inexpensive, but as rack-mount stuff go, it's reasonably priced, and it's certainly thoughtfully designed. I would buy it again (and may get another yet).

Bought this in July 2025 for $54.99. The finish looks solid and everything fits together well. The trays slide in smoothly and the rack mount is sturdy enough for the job. The only annoyance I ran into for the unit I received was that the standoff threads on the tray were a bit of a hassle. They clearly weren't protected during the coating process. This made them rough and nearly impossible to start without a bit of brute force. The standoff screws are pretty small (2.5mm) and are easy to strip I killed two with too much force. A little extra care in thread protection or re-cutting them after coating would make this much better.

Really like this. Works so well!

This is perfect for my raspberry pies I wanted to make a pie cluster in my home server setup. I'm very affordable for what it is easy to set up it fit my rack and the quality and size were perfect

This impressed me. The SD card extender is a nice touch, the captured spring loaded tray screws are super fancy. It's a very well thought out and well designed piece. I wish they made more gear I could pick up. The other pi racks I have don't have ssd mounting or captured spring screws or as card extenders or labeled ports. This thing is way nicer than it's competition.
