    It would be awesome if the powercase had provisions for mounting. Something similar to how the BlackBox does it.

    :) that one was debated a lot
    The "dont mount the PSU on the machine, vibrarions will kill it" argument won :)
    Our goto is L Bracket (single ones) mounted to the meanwell's own mounting holes

    Got it. I didnt want to mount it to the machine, but just wanted an easy way to mount it. I have a handful of those brackets laying around. Thanks for the suggestion.

    (; should be more secure (metal all the way) versus using mountings via the PowerCase too (;
