Hi. I have 3 Mac Minis that I need to stack on a desk to save space. These are dev/test machines that are always running, attached to a KVM...
Are there any good options for stacking them. Ideally, the right rack would help keep them cool by spacing them just enough and also help prevent any wireless issues with them all being in such close proximity, all the while creating a compact little rack on my desk.
I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

How about something like this, but then just remove the back? Might be able to find one smaller. Or make your own.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess I was hoping for something that was much smaller and sort of purpose built for use with the Mac Mini.

I worry about adequate ventilation between them. Everything Mac related seems to be slightly less hot than the sun. I haven't used a Mac Mini before, but every other Mac I have is always burning hot.

The current models are vented out the back so stacking shouldn't be a problem. If you prefer a proper shelf system it should be easy enough to build something (Have you considered Lego?). Or you might look in your local stationery suppliers for a set of paper trays or something like that can be repurposed.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
