1U Rack Mount for Rpi 4B

A 1U rack mount made exclusively for the Raspberry Pi 4 model B, with OLED Screen, Power switch & Dual HDMI.

Similar projects worth following
When designing our first Rpi rack mount, all we can think about was compatibility. No matter what Pi models you have, we want to make it possible for you to install all of them with one single bracket. As for the second rack mount, we added additional Micro-to-full-size HDMI adapter boards, so you don’t have to buy extra HDMI cables and jacks.

As for the third one, we’ve decided to make it a Pi 4B exclusive, and this time, we are bringing everything to the front.

0.91 Inch OLED Monitor

You don’t have to manually label the Pis any more, there’s a tiny screen displaying the temperature, ip address, CPU and memory usage, it can also be customized to show any information you want.

This isn’t something you can find in a regular or 3D printed rack mount.

Repositioned SD cards, power LED & power switch

If you change Micro SD cards a lot, and have suffered from not being able to see the blinking power LED, you will know how important repositioning the slots is. When you ran into hardware issues, these small improvements can save quite some trouble.

Dual HDMI Output

hdmi adapter for 1U rack mount

We've brought out two regular size HDMI ports with a customized type-D-to-type-A connector adapter board, this way you can use normal HDMI cables with any of the Pis, and as usual, they’re bundled with the rackmount.

Power switches

To make things better each Pi also gets a latching-style push button switch, you only need to plug the cables once, this will come in handy whenever you need to cut off the power or reboot one of the boards, it makes power management a breeze.  

Rack mount all them Pis!

Where's the noise generator to make a loud fan sound so that people think you have a very high powered heavy duty rack mount server? 🤣

I'm curious a) where you are sourcing your Micro HDMI components and b) what your mechanism for attaching them to the PCB is. I've not designed a project with this component yet but am trying to figure this out.
