DeskPi RackMate T0 10-Inch 4U Mini Server Rack
The DeskPi RackMate T0 is a compact 4U, 10-inch desktop rack for anyone starting a Raspberry Pi cluster or a one or two node mini-PC lab. It sits happily on a desk or bookshelf and turns a tangle of small boxes, power bricks and patch leads into one tidy unit.
The frame combines aluminium, steel and acrylic, weighs 3.12kg and measures 281 x 200 x 274mm (W x D x H) outside, with 212 x 200 x 241mm of internal space. A 1U shelf and a 1U blanking panel are included, so you can mount a first device and close off the gaps from day one.
The T0 belongs to DeskPi's 200mm depth family alongside the T1 and TT, and its rails are threaded for #10-32 screws. Plan around that depth: with about 75mm needed behind a device for cables, aim for devices of 125mm deep or less. If your mini-PCs are deeper, the 260mm deep RackMate T2 or TL1 is a better choice.
Highlights
- 4U of 10-inch rack space in a desktop footprint
- Aluminium, steel and acrylic construction, 3.12kg
- 1U shelf and 1U blanking panel included
- #10-32 threaded rails for DeskPi accessories

Compatibility notes
- Takes 200mm-family DeskPi shelves and panels. T2/Plus 260mm accessories do not fit.
- Lenovo Tiny and Dell Micro PCs (about 182-183mm deep) exceed the comfortable depth once cables are allowed for. Choose the 260mm T2 for those.
- #10-32 screws only. M6 cage nuts are not used in this frame.

Frequently asked questions
How many Raspberry Pis can I fit?
That depends on the shelves or mounts you choose. The T0 gives 4U in total, and each 1U shelf typically holds one or more Pis side by side.
Is the T0 big enough for a UPS?
Usually not. Most small UPS units are deeper than 200mm. Consider the 12U RackMate T2 or a Kenable 300mm cabinet.
Can I add a UK power strip?
DeskPi does not make a UK mains PDU. Our Kenable 10-inch 3-way UK PDU is 1U and can be fitted with #10-32 screws, but it uses 1U of your 4U.
