I’ve seen so many 10" servers that look amazing from the front and very polished, but then having a rats nest of cables and a mess at the back.

After 62 iterations and many 3D prints, blood, sweat, profanity and tears. I my design and implementation is finally done. image

This is Before: image

And the After: image
The ducky adds 200MHz

The front of my mini-rack is actually still somewhat of a mess, I thought I’d focus on the back first.

I’ve published it in excruciating detail on my GitHub Leave a Star if you like what you see

    This looks great! Any thought on relay control? I built an 8 outlet box with relays inside so I can direct control power to each server with a Raspberry Pi. It runs PiKVM and is also attached to an 8 port KVM for control.

      Uggg don’t give me ideas, I’ve already sunk way too much time into designing this 😅️🤣

      So you could just put a relay between my power-module and your server, and it’s problem solved.

      A redesign to incorporate one of these would be great, there are also variants that monitor power draw, so you’d be able to see each servers power usage and switch it on or off remotely. image

      Why are you doing this to me?
