Description

Specs:
3 x 3.5" hotswap drive bays
16 Gb ram - theoretically upgradeable to 32 Gb.
2242 m.2 **SATA** boot boot drive.
Ethernet in and out..
GMKtec NucBox G3 - Could fairly easily be swapped for any other mini PC close in dimensions so long as it has both a spare 2280 m.2 ssd slot.
Fully contained, clean server tower form factor.

Dimensions: (WxDxH)
168mm x 180mm x 452mm
*The height can be modified to your requirements but the drive cage connects using the depth dimension.

This is a 168 mm (6.61") wide homebuilt server rack made out of aluminum extrusion. I sorta wanted to 5" wide but found that was too narrow for any serious hardware. Also this width allows easy fitting of common 5 port switches and mini PCs.
