    You could buy some cable track for the ethernet cables. It’s pretty cheap too! you can even turn the boxes around and practice cable routing to make it nice!

    Bonus points if you get a patch panel with keystone couplers to bring small cables to each unit.

    Get a mini rack system that fits on the big shelf and stack up the box things. Then go from there. And tie wraps for the power cables.

    Mount the mini PC into shelves inside a server cabinet.

    Patch panels for shorter and clean Ethernet cable runs.

    Server rack mount power supply, instead of bricks plugged into power strips.

    I would suggest to get a rack with shelves, rack mountable PDU strips, and a rack mountable switch.

    I was up against this last year, 130 Lenovo m75Q’s, how to fit 130 into a 42u rack including powerbricks. Solution was 3d printing.

    Meh, this isn’t what is seems. OP is just being cute. My guess is that he is imaging these hosts from a WDS server or similar. I’ve done deployments that mimic this setup exactly (though considerably more neatly), and its very typical to misconstrue what is actually happening at a glance.

    This looks like a problem that would be solved cheaper with less mess by a used Lenovo Thinkstation P720, a pair of Xeon Gold 6140s, a dozen 32GB DIMMs, a 4TB NVMe, and a copy of VMware.

    Why on earth do you have so many minis?

      To mitigate terminal server cost I guess. And no, virtualizing windows is no solution because to be legal you need expensive open license windows licenses and software assurance on that licenses …
