    I like the idea, but these types is minipcs are meant to large use environment cooling. Cramming them into a rack is definitely going to accelerate their demise. RAM and SSD especially. I’m not seeing any mention of this accounting for extra cooling.

      If you meant the RasPis, there are off-the-shelf cooling solutions you can use. Otherwise, I don’t see any mini PC.

      I’ve also seen NUCs and Mac Minis in rack setups and they’d have fans, either integrated in the units, or in the rack fittings.

      Last but not least, mini PCs don’t even generate that much heat, unless you’re overclocking the crap out of it.
