Cheap alternatives to Rack Systems
I hope you see that its easy to go down to home depot or lowes and get some 5/16 ~ 8mm rods and build your own custom rack anywhere. Have a wall or any space rack the pi's up. No need for the expensive racks and Pi-edge rack mounts. Find an empty wall, cut your rods and hang your pi's. Simple, cheap, and a perfect fit for hanging your Pi's.
People like Jeff Greer's are becoming clueless and retract from real makers that continue to innovate this space.

Oh no, not again.
Re: Monkey Pi
I mounted my Pi 5 using four nails with plastic washers cut from a milk carton. Surprisingly I did not smash the Pi with the hammer.
How are you powering them? Is there a mosaic of wall warts plugged into that PDU?

Re: Monkey Pi
yep.. I am using a mosaic of wall warts plugged into that PDU. I have tried 20amp 5v power supplies to distribute the power and I always seem to get low power warnings on the pi5. I could go poe but I am using a nvme hat for each and the hat with nvme plus poe is expensive and then having to buy a decent poe switch cost is more than just buying the Raspberry Pi official power supply for each Pi

Re: Monkey Pi
I'd be glad to attach the openscad or stl file for the raspberry pi cradle if anyone is interested. it a very simple design to print on a 3d printer
