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

I'll take another look at their range and see if using them would work. My eth ports are on top of the pi so I don't think I can use the poe hat.

I use a POE hat and I think they have options for power it, even beyond that you could get a dremmel out and start making more ports. The ports being on top would make any case that doesn't take that in mind just about impossible to use. I'd look at a shelf or modifying another enclosure.

I am feeling modifications to another enclosure will be the best way for this so I can get everything in one place.

I am looking for a new ethernet hat at the min but there are not many different ones available it seems.
