V1:

First Remix of the original Model. Works great and looked good when test fitting everything on my desk - but when I installed it in my rack and started cabling everything, I noticed that some cable management options would have been great.

 

V2:

Changed the models and added a cable routing channel with cutouts for velcro cable ties behind the holders, so I can tidy up my cabling.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

As I don't have a Raspberry Pi in my rack, I wanted to use the space for my Philips Hue Bridge instead. Unfortunately the bridge is much wider than the Pi, and too wide for the 1U sled in the original design. So I modified the model, made the holder and sled for the Zimaboard each 1cm smaller, the smaller holder 2cm wider and modified the Pi sled to include mounting hooks for the Hue Bridge.

I also increased the hight of the PCI-Card socket in the front to fit my card (and made it less wide, since my card has a heatsink-clip protruding out the bottom, that interfered with the socket) and added another socket in the back so the card can rest on.

 

Unfortunately the design is no longer modular, since it only adds up to a full 19 inch rack width with the two Zimaboards and one Hue Bridge, but if thats what you need it works as good as the original.
