Hey everyone! I'm in a bit of a bind and could use your help. I need to find a flat mini rack to hold a small switch, specifically about the size of a D-Link DGS-108. It doesn't need to be mountable, but the smallest option I've found so far is a cube that measures 31cm³ (330mm wide x 312mm deep x 300mm high). Ideally, I'm aiming for something less than 20cm in depth since it's just to keep the mini switch dust-free. Any tips on where I might find something like this?

I get it, space is always an issue! Just check to see if you can find rackmount shelves that are specifically designed for these kinds of applications; they might have lower profiles that would work for you.
Honestly, you might not need to worry too much about dust with that switch. It’s fanless, so it can probably handle it. I’ve seen similar switches do just fine in less-than-ideal conditions, even caked in dust in some cases!
I've got to ask—are you setting this up for a homelab or something? It sounds pretty compact!
Unfortunately, it’s for a customer. They have a tiny room, and it's already tight in there!
Haha, true! And it's only a $30 switch, right? Maybe just keep a spare handy in case!
