Video Description
In this video, I design and build a 3D printed Mini ITX shelf for my Lab Rax system, turning it from a Raspberry Pi setup into a fully expandable server platform. This rack allows for proper PCIe expansion, more storage, and significantly more performance, all in a compact and modular 10" rack.
