Looking for Dual mini-ITX cases

[brbaker]

Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on good 2RU dual mini-ITX cases.
I have been trying to contact Travla/Casetronic about their T2280 which is PERFECT - but they have not been responding. Nothing past 2016 on their social media so maybe they are no longer around...
This is an example of what I am after.
T2280 2U Rackmount
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Bryan

This looks promising though it's a bit expensive:

2U Rackmount Chassis Twin ITX ; 17.64" deep Case 8 x SATA/SAS Tray / Multilane Backplane ; 2 x 2.5" HDD Bays  TWIN-ITX-S2082 (PLinkUSA.com / RackBuy.com)

Not 2U but 1.5U, there's an optional 'twin ITX' adapter kit for it. I have a few of those cases (along with a bunch of their 1U ones) in use with single motherboards and they work quite nicely. Only 10" deep.

LogicSupply/OnLogic MK150
Dual Board kit for MK150

There was even an adapter kit for quad thin-ITX but it seems it's been discontinued.

What a great idea. I've got a bunch of ITX boards and was considering doing something like this with a generic 2U enclosure, a dremel, and the laser cutter and 3D printer I have access to. I had no idea that they came ready made!

I've bought from Logic Supply (now On Logic) on and off for years. The products were always good quality and durable.

That's pretty much exactly what I am looking for. I had stumbled on the manufacturer earlier (http://genesysgroup.com.tw) but had glossed over them for some reason. I just pinged them to see if they have an Australian distributer or will ship here. Thanks!

Thanks, I appreciate your help.
IMHO they are a bit expensive for what they are, especially seeing as their is not drive access from the front. I think that the link zack$ sent would be much better value for money at that price.

Would really like to investigate this as an option for multi-node virtual labbing when stacking rPi’s or NUCs don’t meet hardware requirements.

Yeah, a bit expensive IMO.

It's far cheaper to pickup a couple Supermicro 1U bare chassis and just stick the ITX board in that. Takes up the same 2U size, but you'll have a robust server-chassis, on rails, power supply (and most likely dual PSUs/hot swap), along with either 4x3.5" or 8x2.5" hot swap bays.

I just ran across this accidentally today, and thought of this thread.

Given it's for Jetson boards, the same concept could be applied to ITX with 1U HS&Fan coolers in a 4U chassis.
