[sdiy] mounting PCBs to FRAC panels

[Dump Static]

I use these:

if I mount the PCB perpendicular to the front panel.  On some modules, I want to make them very "shallow" (if the PCB isn't too large) so I mount the PCB parallel to the front panel with threaded standoffs.  

I like using black oxide screws to mount things to the front panel.  This place has a nice selection and decent prices:

I have been searching for a good CHEAP solution to mounting PCB boards to 
front panels in FRAC format.

I really like the brackets that MOTM users have access to:

A trip to the hardware store yielded some galvanized brackets (for bracing 
2x4s in construction), and they almost work. They are a bit too thick AND 
way hard to drill.

How is anybody mounting PCBs to Frac panels?

Any tips would be appreciated.
