Can't recommend them enough. Fabulous work. Pricey $$ but you get what you pay for. This is my umteenth-millionth order from them and not sure if you can tell which two brackets are from them and which one is an original:

Not a compensated endorsement.

The rightmost one looks a bit dodgy on the silkscreen printing. Is it theirs?

I've used them for custom work on $day_job projects. Very high quality, but as you say, quite expensive! I don't know why I hadn't thought about having them make CPCI brackets though...you ever get a quote from Curtiss-Wright on that filler they make to mount a 3U CPCI in a 6U slot?! It'd have to be cheaper to lay out your own 6U faceplate, even including standard $day_job billable rate.

Right two are from them. What looks off?

 

[Trixter]

The leftmost one has a rough finish and the number "1" written on it in marker, so it was pretty easy to figure out, but I agree they look good.

 

[Chuck(G)]

The printing looks a bit blobby and grainy, particularly noticeable on the "CompactPCI" on the leftmost one. I agree that it's no substitute for the engraved version.

I'm just happy they fit perfectly the first time - especially the one with the card ejector/latch assembly.

I should have recessed the screw bosses on the EGA/VGA card connectors a bit. But I'll just get shorter ones.

Glitch, if you want my FPE files, I can email them to you.
