Small racks,

What it does

Everything you need to plan a mini rack

Built for Raspberry Pi clusters, home networking, and tidy little server cabinets โ€” not 19-inch data centers.

๐Ÿงฒ

Drag-and-drop elevation

A true-to-scale front view with half-U precision. Drop gear into the rack, slide it around, and let snapping & collision handle the rest.

๐Ÿ“ฆ

Real gear catalog

Actual DeskPi RackMate cabinets, shelves, panels, fans and a PDU โ€” plus the compact UniFi switches & gateways that fit a 10-inch rack, with real sizes and prices.

๐Ÿ—„๏ธ

Shelves that hold gear

Flip a shelf between insert and on-top mode, and sit two half-width switches side-by-side on one shelf โ€” just like the real thing.

๐Ÿ”Œ

Network & power wiring

Two separate layers. Wire each patch-panel port or PDU outlet to a device, in blue for network and red for power.

๐Ÿงพ

Live bill of materials

Every part, quantity and price totals up as you build, with U-used and U-remaining so you never overfill the cabinet.

๐Ÿ”—

Save, export & share

Keep builds in your browser, export JSON or a PNG, or copy a share link that rebuilds your exact layout on someone else's screen.

How it works

From empty cabinet to wired build in minutes

1

Pick a cabinet

Choose a DeskPi RackMate size from 4U to 12U. The rack draws itself to scale, numbered U by U.

2

Drag in your gear

Pull switches, gateways, Pi mounts, shelves, fans and panels from the catalog. Hover any item to preview the real product photo.

3

Wire it & share it

Connect network and power, check the bill of materials, then copy a link to share the whole build.
