After buying my Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro I had been deciding how to mount it … simple 2u wall-mount or clean up my whole home office setup and consolidate everything into a rack. Decided to spend the time and effort to clean it up and been really happy with the result.I chose this case, and made some modifications to make it easier to work with/maintain since I was not going to be wall-mounting it, but placing under my desk. Here are the products I went with:- Casters — https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y49D2J2 – which fit and function perfectly. Was able to secure them with the two bolts at each corner that hold the case together rather than drilling new spaces. Feels very secure and stable when wheels are locked and very easy to work with and slide around otherwise.- Swing door — with $10 bucks in door/gate supplies (narrow hinges and latch) from a local hardware store I made a simple swing door to mess around in the back without having to take off the back panel (normally secured with screws). Make sure to get a punch, screws and bolts, and a good drill bit – I used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AESUDU/ which went through the steel very easily.- Dust screens — https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PXK2HWX — I wanted to try and reduce dust and any larger particles from getting in the case where I reasonably could (e.g. animal fur/dander), so I cut pieces to fill all of the openings around the case and secured with some stronger double sided tape (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LFRN1K8).- Active cooling — https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JLV4BWC — the case has two cutouts for 120mm fans at the top, so I wanted to take advantage of that with active exhaust. These AC Infinity fans have been super quiet on low speed and all of the gear inside is registering great temps, so more active cooling has not been needed.- Wire management — https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08B5YSKV4 & https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E1Y5O6 — I originally intended on just using velcro to secure the cables throughout, but bought the clips to use behind my desk to route wires where I needed. Tried them in the case to route my Cat7 and made things super clean and easy. I used them in far more places than I intended and happy I did. They’ll each hold 4 x Cat7 cables easily, maybe 5 for thinner cables with less shielding. I used velcro throughout the back of the case for things like power cables.- Cables — https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Entegrade-Ethernet-Patch-Cable/dp/B07GGPQKWD
