4u wall mount

Does anyone have any ideas how best to mount a 4u server case to a wall? I want it ‘flat’ so the bottom of the motherboard is parallel to the wall, and horizontal, so the back and front are horizontal. Been scouring the internet and best I could find are ones that would hang the server off a bracket.

Best I think you're going to get is a combination of a strong, heavy duty shelf brackets and the "vertical rack wall mount bracket" (but use it at the angle you require, just to ensure it doesn't fall off the shelf.

Yeah, I’m leaning towards an extremely sturdy shelf at the moment…

Simplest solution would be to drill a bunch of holes in the case and mount it directly to the wall.... Not that it's the greatest of ideas!

Could you use the 2x vertical wall mount brackets front and back and then install the server case with rails?

That’s a cracking idea, cheers. Reckon it should work just fine. Why didn’t I think of using two brackets…. I’ve even got a spare set of rails in the loft!
