How is everyone mounting their controllers.
This would give everyone ideas supported by pics. Will add mine when I get home

Thanks for the thread. I just purchased an apex classic and will be looking at different ways to mount it.

Very impressive. I have a built in cabinet also but love the Clean look and layout of your components.

Great thread ! I've been wondering where and how I am going to mount mine, so it's great to see what others are doing.

Here is a part of mine in a basement sump room.....I have two more smaller boards with more modules and another power bar closer to the sump, and also running a Monitor cage (ignore the dosing glasses lol....the DOS was in for repair)

I'm curious how you access the cords behind the cabinet if say something needs to be unplugged to be cleaned. Is the cabinet mounted/attached to the stand or is it free standing?
The “wall” that the controller and modules are on swings out. There is a gap of approx four inches behind
That the cables sit. There is then three openings two on the right side ( on on the top one on the bottom ) and one in the middle for cabling to go threw either around to the the back of the tank ( the controller cabinet sits on the side of the tank stand and the tank stand has a hole on the side bottom )
Or directly into the side of the tank stand

Oops the cabinet stand is free standing I can move it away from the tank stand. I have to be careful of cables of course

Thanks for looking
