The Mini Rack Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed

Techno Tim just covered the reality of building out a 10-inch mini rack, and it’s interesting to see how tricky the peripheral side of things can be. He tested a huge list of gear ranging from DeskPi rack-mount touchscreens and cooling panels to specific power solutions like the GeeekPi DC PDU and various Tripp Lite UPS units. The video also dives into the weeds of cable management, featuring things like D-ring hooks, short Cat6 cables, and USB-C power meters to keep everything organized. Some of the components worked exactly as expected, while others highlighted where the 10-inch form factor is still finding its footing in the home lab scene.
