Where to mount power supply 'bricks'?

[Onewolf]

Initially my new S-850 tank will have 11 power supply bricks. I'm having trouble figuring out where I should mount them so they are out of the way, but also allows for reasonably clean wire runs.

Any suggestions where to mount them in this space? The area on the back right will have the Apex power bar and an outlet strip to plug in the 5 Radion XR 15 lights.

The initial power supplies are for: 5 Radions, 2 Vectra M2 return pumps, 2 MP40, Varios 4 (RO Regal 200 Int), under cabinet lights.

@techdef figured this one out for all of us! Brilliant!

3/4” MDF. Hangs them vertically and spaced so all the heat can dissipate. Also inherently creates drip loops.

I too made a holder for the power supplies after measuring one and building out of 1/4 plywood.

And, when I went to put the power supplies in (all ecotech) I find that I have three different size power supplies:

So I had to rework the holder:

Thanks for the suggestions. Based on the suggestions I am building a power supply mount box out of 1/4" PVC board that will be able to contain up to 16 power bricks.

The CAD layout:

And the dry fit (ready to start gluing) test:

How did this turn out?
