I’m looking to build a mount to house several Power Supply bricks.

I’ve attached a drawing, I’m looking to try and mount a 2080 strip to the wall, then use 2080 sideways for the power brick to sit on. Is there a fastener that connects Side slot to Face? It’s really hard to explain, so hope the picture helps.

Yeah, but I think I’ve come up with a solution. Use the corner bracket on the sides, this keeps the horizontal surface flat and smooth.

see attached. I think this should work?

I don’t trust myself to do the machining, I think I’ll stick to the corner strategy. I’ll post the result here. Thinking this will look clean and also allow heat to sink away from the bricks.
 
Watching this, looking at similar build.
 
The T Slot arrived. I think this could work quite well. (I would order the longer version to act as the post.) just ordered short to test, but it’s also the right side for the shelf pieces.
