A while back, I bought a Define 7 XL case for my Unraid build since it was hard to find good cases that supported ATX w/ GPU and 6+ HDDs. It's a great case but I underestimated it's size until it was fully assembled in my office.

Now as I plan to add a managed switch and another mini PC to my lab, I have an urge to rack mount everything and swap the Define 7 XL build to a Sliger 3U chassis. I don't "need" to but consolidating everything into "the cube" and organizing with patch panels would really clean up half my office.
