Enclosure Regarding tooless panels

[Windfall]

So I guess this goes in hardware (if not, mods please move @ your discretion). I mean, PEMSERTs are technically hardware, right?

So in making a tooless panel, you use these, correct?

And Is there space issues? Has anyone used these?

Probably should ask in Custom Cases and Projects. "Hardware" covers finished or 'commercial' components rather than actual hardware (fasteners, tools, etc.).

@confusis Please move.

Never seen those used for fastening panels. I think they're intended more for mounting PCBs.

The stud & clips Lian Li uses are proprietary to them, though some other companies have their own versions. The closest off-the-shelf hardware I'm aware of are these, which are what Sliger uses in the Cerberus.

In this thread, @KSliger uses them...

Caselabs also sells/uses those connectors. Might be worth hitting them up to see if they're clearing any out.

They're amazing for tooless panels, only issue is that the minimum length on them is hard to work with - and the longest one doesn't give much room to fit stuff under it.
