Rack Mount 19 inch 3U Compatible with 1 or 2 Mac Studios

I purchased a cheaper plastic 3D printed version of this that I hated. It was so weak I had to put a board under it to support my Mac Studio. This item cost more but it is well worth the money. Strong, Great Design and flexible. I would recommend it to anyone that has a Mac Studio, it will support it and some.

It dosen't hold the computer in place very well in travel. I traveled once with it and the computer slid out of the housing a little and scratched the outside of my computer. Hope it still turns on.

My intention was to use this rackmount in a field rack. I do live event A/V and I wanted a rack built for millumin playback. The rack looks good and is easy to deal with, but a few mods are needed to make it road worthy.The most immediate issue is that the rack does not fully secure the studios. The studio sits in a circular cut out and the edge of the cutout touches the vented ring at the bottom of the studio. This is the air intake vent, so I am just a little concerned about that being blocked a little, but not that much. There is one surface on the side and one surface on the top that is supposed to hold the studio in place, but it doesn't. The studios rotate a bit which will make those surfaces wear points on the computer's chassis. It also means that the computers would jiggle inside of the rack while in transit which is not a good thing.What I did was apply a little bit of thin neoprene rubber with an adhesive back to those surfaces on the mount that would come into contact with the computer. That extra thickness and cush with an anti-slip quality keeps the studios in-place inside the rackmount. I did not apply any rubber to the bottom ring as that would cause further blockage of the air intake.You don't need to make this modification if you are simply racking up your computers in your studio - only if you are taking it on the road.As for the on/off actuator included in the rack, it does not work so well. I am using an SKB Fly Rack which is an open frame rack that sits in a padded case for transport, so I can easilly reach the button on the computer. The front button is a piece of thin all-thread that is attached to an arm on a pivot that is pushed to press the on/off button in the back of the computer. On mine, the left side all-thread was bent slightly resulting in it getting stuck. When I added the neoprene rubber, the additional thickness on the top surface causes the buttons to not work at all. The top surface is attached to the front plate that you remove with two thumbscres to place or remove the computers in the mount. The all-thread passes through a hole in that plate and the additional tension from the rubber I added causes the hole to misallign ever so slightly. Because it is all-thread, the threads cause it to get stuck. If it had been a custom piece with thread only where it needed it, it would move smoother through that hole and through the rest of the mechanism. I'm certain that would add quite a bit of cost since they would have to buy thousands of them for a custom run. I am just going to remove mine since I can reach the buttons on my build.Overall, I think it is a good mount and waaaay more inexpensive than the Sonnet mount. It just has a few issues that can be figured out.
