Recently got a Dell Wyse 5070 to use for OpenWRT router at home. 
It needed a simple way to be wall mounted, that still allowed dismounting for adjustments or relocation.

Issues that require careful consideration:

Depth of vesa screw length ( too deep damages motherboard ). This tends to dictate cleat depth.  See the picture named "VeryImportantComparison". On the lower cleat, you may need to change depth to suit wood screws for installation.  This example worked for a M4x12 on upper and #6x3/4 for lower.

The narrow slots in the upper cleat were to beef up the internal structure. The over zealous pattern of holes is more for rigidity than mounting options in the lower cleat. In real life, there will be 2-3 wood screws.


Parts are supplied as rsdoc, sab and step files since you will more than likely want to adjust 
depths for the  screws you have on hand. Grabcad offers a quick, accurate way to convert from 
sab to step files ( at least until June 2023).
