The flat rails are priceless! I can make my own brackets and cables.

I did a FrontPanelExpress design complete with threaded holes and
countersunk mounting. Ouch - very expensive! I have made my own
flatrails in the past and the issue was precision location of the
holes. I did a second flatrail design with only the holes since it is
easy to tap the threads and countersink the mounting holes. In a
natural aluminum 3 mm rail, the cost is still $18.60. However, it
drops to $13.02 in a quantity of 20 or more. This might be feasible
for a combined order.

I suppose the other option is just to buy rack mounting strips and cut
them to fit.
