I use those very type of screws and clip-on nuts in our datacenter cabinets.
We get them from a local company called "falcon technologies". Don't recall
what they cost, but I don't think they were very cheap.

Subject: Kinda OT?: Looking for rackmount screw sets....
Well, I just acquired a 5' x 3' x 2' IBM
AS400 drive cabinet. F--n
heavy!
Now, to mount equipment in it, I need to find some more of those
clip-on T-nut kinda things, which clip on around the hole in the rails, so
you then use the supplies screws to mount your equipment. Some older DEC
racks used the same thing.
And, as you can guess, the guys at the local Home Depot just gave
me funny looks.
Anybody know where I can get a dozen or two of these screw mount
sets? For a reasonable price? And what are they called?
