I'm on the hunt for some mini network equipment models for my desk—things like little server, router, and database toys. My manager wants them for his desk, and honestly, I think they're pretty cool too! I'm not interested in 3D printing anything myself, so I'd love to know if anyone has suggestions on where I could buy these types of items. Any help would be appreciated!

Are you thinking about mini switches and routers? I really wish Dell would bring back their LEGO servers or if someone else would make networking toys like that. It would be awesome!
I actually received a Dell PowerEdge LEGO kit when I spent quite a bit on equipment for my company—maybe you just have to buy a lot to get those kinds of perks!
You might find some cool 3D printed designs on Etsy. It's worth checking out!
You might want to look into gashapon toys! They have some cute capsule toys with mini network equipment. Here's a link: [Gashapon Link](https://tarlin-capsule.jp/product/299)
I stumbled upon this site with network equipment figures: [Toys One Japan](https://toysonejapan.com/products/palm-network-equipment-all-4-types-figure-capsule-toy-japan-official). I might grab a set for myself too since Japan loves these miniatures!
What is this, a network for ants?! Haha, but seriously, I’m with you on wanting these!
I found these little network models on Amazon—check them out! [Amazon Link](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D6R57RGM?smid=AHAGNP5J7ZUBI&psc=1) They look like exactly what you're after!
Those are pretty cool! I might just have to get them too.
LOL, I definitely want a set after seeing those!
I love the idea of having them, but I’d probably use magnets on a whiteboard. It’d be great for brainstorming without needing to draw everything out.
That's what my manager is looking for too! It makes explaining things so much easier.
Yeah, exactly! It’s such a quirky request, but honestly I think they’re fun.
