It's also customary to use oval-head screws and cup washers to secure
rackmount panels, although that's a custom that seems to be
vanishing. Distributes the load a bit and gives a nice finished look
to the mouthing. If you gotta show screwheads, might as well look
pretty.
You can use commercial slides or just cut up and drill some angle
iron to provide support. I've even riveted standard ball-bearing
drawer glides to some to provide a pull-out shelf. Looks very
professional, particularly if the shelf is covered with laminate or
made of appropriately-edged melanine-finished MDF.
