Hey all,

I am trying to find a 1U chassis for a raspberry pi project. I need a 1U chassis (2U would be ok) - not deep. No PSU needed but need plenty of ethernet port holes so I can add in back to back connectors.

I use a Raspberry Pi as a router but it has 9 Ethernet ports I need to have directly on the front of the case and then the standard 4 USB ports. all back to back. I can add those but need it to be cut to take them...

I have been searching online but cannot find anything suitable. I am close to just buying a old 1U router and gutting the parts out of it. something like a Draytek 3090 would be perfect.

Thanks

Not cheap but excellent quality https://lincolnbinns.com/shop/internet-of-things-iot/raspberry-pi-enclosures.html

I used them for a pair of bespoke Pi 4B 10" rack mounts and was very happy with everything from the project management to delivery time. The face plate cutting and coating was excellent - no rough edges or smudge 'paint' in site.

The HAT may cause an issue for their standard enclosure (it's a total wrap around providing cooling) but drop them an email and see if they can help.
