   Been using alum. angle for years in racks to support Large Heavy Things, 
so that the panel screws just hold the unit in place.

   For something on the order of weight (and value!) or a 390 - I would 
probably go for more like 1/2 or even 3/4 angle.  For devices over 100 
pounds, I use 1" and make sure that the rack has rear-mounting facilities. 
A lot of racks have a pair of drilled uprights on each side for this 
purpose.

   But, even though it's been done by many, including Moi, I think in my 
newest intallation I'll support my -390s, etc., like this, and give the 
old panels a rest.

   Just my 200 millidollar....
