Hi,

something like https://www.opencompute.org/projects/rack-and-power
comes into my mind for that.
Mounting on 4 posts should be the default. It is insane what some
vendors want to mount on 2 posts only.

Regards, Karsten

I have considered making my own rails using a laser cutting service. I have done this before where I created 500 mm 
to 19 inch rack adapters and had them laser cut at lasergist.com. Fairly simple really, just make a drawing in 
Fusion360 and upload the drawing. A few days later the adapters arrived.

Rails would probably require some metal bending but could otherwise be made the same way. Maybe we could do an open 
source design here?
