Description
I knew I wanted a mini rack as soon as I saw the RackMate T1 to downsize and move off my 12U full size rolling rack.

8. Mounted to the side of the rack is a Lenovo 530S laptop running Proxmox. The keyboard stopped working, so I was planning on slotting this into a .5U shelf, but the laptop was .1 inches too wide. :( So instead I found [this aluminum laptop stand that was perfect for mounting to the side of the rack.](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079VHSJSB)
## Future
1. JetKVM w/ 4 machine KVM switch
2. 3D print uplink port for back
3. 3D print rack mount for m920q
4. 3D print nicer slotted SBC shelf
5. Tools for cable management
