Description

After seeing one of Jeff's YT videos, I've got the bug and would like to build a mini-rack for myself. I'm planning on using the 2U Pi insert and was hoping to power them with a PoE switch. Most of the reviews I've seen for a dual PoE/NVME hat recommend the PineBoards dual hat, but it seems they have gone the way of the Dodo (site is down and most shops that resell seem to be out of stock).

Is there any kind of consensus on an alternative hat? I looked at the Waveshare hat, but a couple folks recommended a PoE++ switch to power those, and the choice are limited or they are significantly more expensive.

Right now I am using the GeekPi X1001 on the ones I have, but I don't think there is room for any of the standalone PoE hats, e.g. the official one.

Thoughts?
