Description

Hello, does someone tried to fit deep mini-ITX motherboard on a mini rack ?

Deep mini-ITX form factor is 6.7" x 8.2" (for instance ASRock AM5D4ID-2T/BCM) so same width than mini-ITX, and same screw holes so I thing it will fit in the DeskPi mini-ITX shelf but it is slightly deeper than the DeskPi Rackmate (max 20 cm). Some racks like the L-com Half Rack Frame Rack are deeper but I don't know if the forementioned shelf can be installed in it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the dimensions of the DeskPi mini ITX shelf and compare with Deep mini ITX motherboard dimensions. Verify if the screw holes align and if the depth can be accommodated in the Rackmate or alternative racks.
