DeskPi RackMate TL1 10-Inch 10U Open-Frame Rack
The DeskPi RackMate TL1 is a 10U, open-frame 10-inch rack for builders who care most about airflow and easy access. With no side panels, warm air escapes freely and every cable is within reach, which suits busy mini-PC clusters and kit you change often.
DeskPi makes the TL1 from durable aluminium alloy in a modular design that is easy to assemble and expand. It is compatible with DeskPi RackMate T2 series trays, and DeskPi includes four sets of support brackets for fitting trays. You can also add your own LED light strips around the frame (strips are not included).
The TL1 sits in the 260mm depth family with the T2, so deeper mini-PCs and small NAS units are realistic, and it uses #10-32 threaded rails. For a fully enclosed look, choose the RackMate T2 instead; for maximum cooling and the lowest cost per U, the TL1 is hard to beat.
