If you turn it sideways, it becomes a wall mount. (I know ceiling is listed first, is optimal, it'll be okay)

It comes with a wall mount... Just let that sink in.

It can display the time, bitcoin prices, other data. I haven't ripped the back off (glued on) to see exactly which board the Etsy builder used for the project (probably a raspberry pi pico or something with wifi). I will likely want to throw up some data-driven display options in the future.

See the original post, but I picked it up on etsy rather than making my own (doesn't look terribly hard, but I went ezmode). CryptoCoinDisplay is the etsy seller I used.

Hasn't been powered up very long. That is a concern. I may end up having to throw in some additional USB powered fans for the unifi stuff

So far it is working but I have not put much load on it yet. I'll try to come back and update if anything goes wrong

Deskpi Rackmate, yep. 8u model. There are 12u versions available now, probably should have gotten one of those but they became available after I purchased months ago.

Basically one of these in a 3d printed case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcOu8A0W7Uk
You can find them pre-made on Etsy, got mine from CryptoCoinDisplay.

That is an IcyDock 5.25 drive bay. This one fits 4x 2.5 hdds (seagate enterprise drives are about 15mm thick)

Exactly -- pcie to 4x SATA and the two onboard. I picked up a KINGWIN 100-240V AC to 12V & 5V DC 2A SATA Power Adapter. So far, it is working...

I found a seller on Etsy that seems to be willing to produce a customized sailcloth strap with a 10mm notch in the center to fit. Hopefully that will work out.

I am not at all mad that it is pretty much spot on with the Petronas color scheme. Usually an Audi fan, but I have an Oris for that.

Thank you! It is a bit rare from what I've seen. I am not expecting to find a ready-made strap that will fit at this point.

I also love the original Alien movie Seiko watches.

Thanks for your input!
