I had LED backlighting installed. The result was presented in the form of "electronic guts," albeit connected by wires. To enhance this product, I bought a box and a transparent glass for it. However, I couldn't find any answers to my questions about whether there are any mounting devices for the boards, what types they are, and which ones would fit the specified ones. Perhaps I didn't explain well. The weakest link that I currently don't see in terms of quality mounting, and especially how to make it look nice and be convenient to operate, is the NETWORK DISPLAY (for four characters). As seen in the photo, there is one button, followed by a vertical row of light indicators, then the DISPLAY for 4 characters, and finishing with a diamond-shaped block of adjustment buttons. The height of the buttons and the display is the same. And here’s what’s bothering me: 1) where can I buy guides/mounts for sticking under this board? 2) how can I attach all this to the transparent glass of the box so that the light indicators are visible and without making horrible holes in it? Are there any overlay buttons available? (sorry for the terminology, I'm not an expert in this) Also, I would like to consult: I will be placing a dual board with a controller and a power supply in the same box. To cool the controller and the power supply, I plan to install a fan. If anyone knowledgeable in this matter or who has seen a similar implementation could advise me on where to go and what to look for, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance for your support!

Setup details: Button caps: But I still can't find the glass for the LCD (live stones) display...

Everything is available at the radio market. If there is a desire...

And what if you cut a piece of transparent acrylic glass and glue it inside the box?

I want a factory version specifically for this indicator. In this design, it will be necessary to cut out green transparent plastic, and then insert white glass into it. Alternatively, it could just be a cut-out window without protection, but then it will get dusty...

I think it's bad without protection. Did you make the LED for the rail?

It turned out like in the photo. There was a modification - I replaced the large cooler with a small one - it was very noisy. The mounts used were stands for circuit boards. There are no caps available at the radio market. But for DIY, I think this option will work.
