Thanks for good video. I have had the UCTRONICS Pi 4 1U Rack Pro now for 2 years and all has worked great. However, I have sine upgraded my RPi 4's to RPi 5's and reached out to UCTRONICS to see if I can purchase the trays/hats separately. They responded that the RPi mounting bracket and NVME hat of the new RPi 5 rack (RM0013) can be installed in the framework of RPi 4 rack (RM0004) but would not sell them separately. I am very disappointed with UCTRONICS and now the 1U rack is just paper weight to me.
PiHole def worth trying. Very easy to set up even for an idiot like me. Got it working on a pi zero 2w. Run another setup on a rpi 4 Craft computing has an excellent setup video which includes a DNS server. Like the rack design but only industry user could afford that.
The case looks really cool. With the PoE hat, it might be quite interesting to have. I'll have to think of it - the only problem is - if you add up all the costs, you can have nice home ryzen server for the same price with faster cores and more extension options, just not 1U...
Thanks Lee but I need 4 more Raspberry Pi V’s so I don’t have to take my RasPAd apart to get proper use of this quality case…😂! Thanks for the informative video…👍! Have a great day!
after seeing your network setup, i think these companies are suggesting you something, like, do something like a rack and mount servers for all that you have and fix that mess 😄
I checked out the price on the web site and initially thought it might be a bit pricey but then realised that they give you 4 xNVME boards, one for each Pi, in their quoted price. I must admit that I am tempted as I've got a couple of Pi's loose in the wall rack in my garage / man cave - it's a case of whether or not I want to replace them with Pi 5's or not. But thanks for the review.
@@Kw1161 I am not sure why any of that is relevant to the point I made. I already have everything cabled out around my home. Plus I did not use the word "cheap" anyway.
@ I was talking about the custom cables for the rack mount that cost my company well over $300 alone. I will not even discuss the other hardware and specialized software etc, that is what makes this setup cheap to me…no insult to your comment intended. Have a great night!
@@Kw1161 Again, I don't understand why any of that is relevant to my point. And please don't paint emotions onto me or my comment! You did not "insult" me, I simply don't understand why you wrote what your wrote in response to my comment. If you can't stay on topic then that is your issue to resolve, please don't turn it into my issue because you want to paint some kind of emotional response from me that does not exist in the first place.

So if for each sloth we can use a raspberry, is there a way to control all of them out of the box, which means there is an up-level tool included here that give me control over these 4 raspberries, give the state of each one, like a website deployed locally and give also an access SSH to each one of them!
@@wasitacatisaw83 in no place i said it included a pi, why did you assumed that pi is not cheap, this solution is for 4 pi, it is not pennies but it is reasonable for those who need it and cant be bothered on printing a case or building the screen or buying the nvme adapter it has alot of things the case, even software support for the buttons and temperature sensors, alot of attention put here but you want it to cost a dollar i think, you better do it for that price and sell it, we will complain about it in some way like you are doing here
Hello is there a way to connect 2/more pi5 together without buying anyting else for more desktop performance if yes please reply or make a video yt playback on my pi 5 is really bad even after 2.7gh overclock
Bin the wifi extender off and get a mesh system, like a TP-Link Deco setup. Way, way faster and better. Also as said below way, way overpriced for what it is - but networking stuff is these days
@leepspvideo increased latency yes.. but in every other way is superior. If only in that room I guess they are OK but believe me they are rubbish in comparison if you need better coverage
you can use one as a nas, the other can be a server, another more can bi a pi hole, you decide what to do, instead of having a desk filled with cables and units there, ready to have a accident
on this configuration you should not use wifi, it is ethernet oriented solution, if you want a wireless solution, this is not the one you need the wifi on the pi is meant to be used just to connect to internet when you cant use ethernet cables
@@arch1107 I'm talking in general about the Pi, not this specific device. The wireless on the Pi 5 and Pi 4 is very poor compared to most laptops, for example. I understand that there is little room for an antenna, which is why I think there should be a connector in case someone has an application where wifi performance is important.
@@4X6GP i understand your complaint, that is why i mentioned the ethernet first and the focus on a case that will not block the weak signal in the future they might add a antenna connector somewhere, yes, would be helpfull
the way that you put the nvme post on is all wrong.... you screw the piece of brass to the PCB from underneath, THEN you put the drive in, THEN you screw into the brass post holding the drive down...... NOT UNLESS that was a brass post that had slots on the side specifically for sliding the drive into.... but I've never see that before, and having to hold it all together while screwing it in from the bottom just doesn't seem right... but even if it wasn't meant to to9 be used the way you did it... if it holds it in then I guess it works, right? lol PLUS you don't have to fiddle around with those SUPER TINY nvme screws that EVERYONE HATES!!! lol :)

running a pihole myself, they're nice, but using a nanopi neo3, much smaller footprint
The builtin Imager on RPi is a pleasure. Good video! 👍
$269.99 for some pressed steel, cables & $2 screen ,Cha Ching: No Sale.
I agree that it's priced too high but at least those nvme boards are included.
I too am curious about pi-hole. Would make a great video!
Would be interesting to run them together as a cluster for, say, Ollama to see how good four boards are together.

Be glad you are not ordering from the commercial computer supply companies….$300 would be just for the cable runs considered cheap.

Just ordered and added a pie3/4 one to sort things out....
Right who's written an add-on for home assistant?
Is it almost the cost of the new Mac mini m4 base model?
I meant adding 4 x pi5 with this 1u rack mount and the rest of the hardware.
So it comes with 4 of the NVME boards? It's a bit confusing because I only see one in the video

The rest of the house is fine for Wi-Fi. It’s only where I record my videos. I read mesh was bad for gaming

The wifi/bluetooth antenna on the Pi is a weak spot, especially with metal cases. They should provide a connector for an external antenna.
