Description
Description: My goal was to build a very basic mini rack Pi cluster, targeting a lower price with 1 Gbps networking and USB-C power. Using DeskPi's Pi 5 NVMe 2U mounting bracket, I can have a 4-node Pi cluster with NVMe SSD storage, and USB-C power delivery. I added on a 10" rack PDU on the back, to keep power organized.
Plug in a network jack, and an AC power plug, and away you go!
