Hey fellow tech enthusiasts! 👋 I'm currently planning to transfer the internals of my trusty Intel NUC computer to a 1U short (20-in) rack mount for better organization and space management. Has anyone here tackled a similar project before? I'd love to hear your experiences, tips, and any pitfalls to avoid during the process. Specifically, are there any compatibility issues or unexpected challenges I should be aware of? Thanks in advance for your help! 🖥️🔧 #TechHelp #RackMount #IntelNUC #DIYProject

Well first, 1U Thermals and noise are terrible due to the need of smallers fan who don't move as much air, but it's probably fine with NUC hardware as they are pretty low power. I would go for 3u or 4u at the very least if I actually want to move them.

Although you could just mount them in their own case.
