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!

    These guys do short depth PCs. I wish I knew where they got their cases from, because they are really nice!
    But I haven’t found anything decent in the wild (I eventually gave up and got a deeper rack so I can use old r730 servers)

      Thanks for the link! Yeah, I’m starting to think I might just need to give up and get a deeper floor rack.

        There are some good short chassis like the Silverstone RM-23-502-MINI, but the minimum length for the recommended rails is still 22 inches :(
