CG1500 DL: 2 PS + Falcon F16v3 + Falcon F8 distro
This stackable mounting plate design is compact, sturdy, and clean.
Sure the CG1500 is a great case, but to pack in multiple power supplies and a controller you are forced to mount things to the lid. I originally had my Power Supply mounted to the lid using double sided tape and elastic banding - but how can I show off my amazing controller build when I'm using materials from the fabric store.
Don't fret, we have the solution for those embarrassing moments - the CG1500 Double Decker Mounting Plate.
This stackable mounting plate is similar to a normal CG1500 mounting plate except there is a second deck which hovers over the first thanks to simple #8 nuts and bolts.

Depending on the design, power supplies are either attached via mounting brackets, or screwed directly to the bottom plate. If your design requires the power supplies to be screwed to the bottom plate, attach them now using M3 or M4 screws.
