I have a very short equipment rack installed in my server closet. It is only 16 inches deep, fine for most networking uses, but not great for most rack-mount server cases.

I am looking for case suggestions that would fit my rack, 16 inch depth maximum. Height isn’t a problem, the rack has a ton of vertical space, over 15U, it’s the depth that’s an issue.

Thanks!

    Back end is open but wall-mounted. If there is a way to mount the case forward a few inches so it leaves a gap in the back, that would be fine with me.

    I haven’t found any brackets that seem to do that though.

      Make your own brackets with construction lumber or plywood?

      The 45Drives homelab case is 17.125" deep

        Also an option I am considering. I prefer something a little more professional if possible, but not a bad option if I can’t get something else to work.

        I’ll take a look at the 45 Drives case, thanks!
