[R-390] Alternative to Rack Screws...

I found utilizing regular rack screws in my CY-979 cabinet was sort of a
pain.  A better solution for me was a cool rack mounting knob system by a
small company called Rack Release Systems.

The rack screw kits come with a black oxide 10-32 "stud" that screws into
the cabinet.  It makes lining things up very easy if you take the rig in/out
of the cabinet... especially if your holes don't line up perfectly.  The kit
also contains a black plastic/nylon washer and the nice knurled knob.

They are available in hex or knurled round and standard or extra length.  I
have both and the extra length works best for CY-979 cabinets.
