I have actually employeed Dave's method of mounting items, with wire at my job, however I took a slightly different spin. Instead of using aluminum wire or chain-link ties, I use #6 solid copper wire, with a gray rubber-like insulation. The copper is stiff, but pliable, and the rubber-like insulation 'grabs' everything it's wrapped around - no sliding out or slipping unexpectedly. The best part is that it's free, since my employer orders this ground wire by the pallet. I also picked up a commerical-grade Wiha Round Nose Pliers, to assist with the wire bending. It's turned-out to be a godsend, for a variety of items, whether their intended mounting was just poor or completely non-existend. I've even had a few co-workers ask where I got the brackets, to which I've explained that it's just insulated # 6 solid copper ground wire. Thank you David for a genuis idea! :)

If you have a bunch of items to mount, do it like telco always does: screw an appropriately-sized sheet of 5/8" plywood to the wall studs. Then use #8 slotted pan-head sheet metal screws for each device anywhere on the board. For some reason, not painting the bare board always seems esthetically pleasing, probably because it's always been done that way.
@davesisson82838 жыл бұрын

Good advice to build from. What I like to use mostly is adhesive Velcro. I staple/nail the soft fluffy bit to the wall then stick the stiff clingy bit to the object to be mounted. Yes the adhesive on the velcro bits can come undone but I've had things for literally (not hyperbole) years without it coming undone. It's easy and makes things removable and replaceable.
@VSPhotfries7 жыл бұрын
I've never had much trouble with double-sided tape, personally, but I will say I love using Velcro: The adhesive works pretty dang well on most surfaces, and allows for easy removal of anything you might want to pull off. Great way to combine storage and display of musical gear, like my corny drum machines and old junky keyboards (obviously not the big ones, mind you).

I wall mounted my old desktop computer monitor and CPU tower using scotch tape and staples. The secret is to use lots of hot glue to reinforce it all. My only problem was not taking in to account the need for an electrical outlet. I solved that by running a 50ft extension cord from the other side of the room. Just duct tape it to the floor.

When looking at ways to mount electrical / electronic devices that are designed to be placed on flat level serfaces it is important to first check to see if mounting it at any other orientation may be damaging to the device. Mechanical devices may be affected by the direction of the force applied by gravity. Electric and electronic devices may be affected by the direction of thermal convection, and changing the orientation may cause heat to build up where it was not met to or not get away from where it was supposed to.
@nzzenith5 жыл бұрын
Broadcast1Channel I think you came out feet first.
@robthom095 жыл бұрын
Yes you are right. I have seen devices ruined , from improper orientation and thermal heat issues. Sometimes the heat generating devices are placed near one side of the enclosure to dissipate heat, per design. If that source of heat becomes at the bottom of a vertical installation then components can be damaged. Another concern is that I have seen many devices with intermittent - hard to troubleshoot problems due to improper mounting orientation, if not considered. But, Im sure many things these days can be wall mounted.

If you have a pile of stuff to mount, or want/need to make many fewer holes in the wall, you can mount everything on a sheet of plywood, and then figure out how to position that. I've used both "freestanding. held up by my desk" and "mounted to the wall - inverted with standoffs". Inverted meaning - the *back* of my board faces the room and can be painted, and all my devices are "hidden" mounted.
