Great model. I attached mine kind of backwards due to the cases I have installed, but still works just fine!
Would you be willing to share how you mounted those 5v buck converters?

Looks good! I dig the inlayed name/address.
Here's the DIN rail doodad I used to mount my buck converters:

I used double-sided tape to affix the PCBs to the mount. I like this stuff for its thickness, and it's perfect for mounting PCBs to things, and it comes off cleanly should you ever decide to remove it:

Haha thanks! The inlay was mostly just because I can. With only 2 Pi's on the wall, pretty easy to tell them apart.
Sweet, thanks for the info. I might have to pick up some of that tape. May be a good alternative to the 3M VHB I normally use.
I actually ended up designing a case for the buck converter for fun. Just snaps in place, and mounts right next to the Pi's. Seems to be working quite well for me so far :)

And thanks for posting your setup. I had been sitting on the DIN rail idea for a while, and it inspired me to purchase everything and move forward with it. And these 5v USB buck converts are incredibly handy! (edited)
