Sorry, I am not sure you can removed the brackets! How are you going to hold it from the wall?

The design was to use the brackets and they are a permanent (integral) part of the rack. There is a bolt but it is permanently welded onto the rack.

as others have said.. yes you can remove them. But why? Plus this system is built tough and that costs in weight which the top bar is kinda needed from lifting the thing.

The brackets are specific to the style so, yes, you will need to remove the existing brackets and install the ones which come with the units. The good news is that the mounting screw holes should be identical so simply re-use the existing screws in the same holes to mount the new bracket.

Yes, there are pins/clips that you can remove it easily. There are mounting brackets.

I did not use the brackets. Mine is bolted directly to the house underneath the windows. However, I believe the brackets are designed for wooden railing, not metal.

You could, but doubt you would want to. At best you would have to remove/replace one screw on each side - while leaving the wall mounts in place.

you can supposably mount this unit in the window with the supplied screws, but I specially made a removable shelf so when winter comes around it would be an easy uninstall process. Otherwise I would suggest putting 2 L-brackets under the back of the unit for added support.

You can remove the shelf however 4 holes would show. It has a clean look even without the shelf and the beam is round. There are clips on the back side of the beam for cable management. We're quite happy with ours...very study and TV mounted without a hitch.

there is a hole drilled in the glass that holds the shelf to the bracket, so they can't be moved. I have a problem with some of my larger components that have thicker cables/bigger connectors behind them. I am considering going to a Glass place and having them just cut me a larger shelf from glass that looks the same. Another option, for the connectors at least, is mounting a piece of 2x4 to the stud, then mounting the wall mount to the 2x4, giving me another 1.5" behind the components to work with. If I cut it to the right size and paint it with a flat black paint I think it will blend right in.

No bracket mounts on this computer and cannot be separated from the base which contains the tower... So no, I don't believe it can

Yes. Use a hair dryer to heat the glass and remove it. In the past I have had to replace some double faced tape to remount it.

The glass does not appear to be removable as it is not secured with "tabs" like a picture frame. It is surrounded by a rubber framing. It may be possible to remove but you may damage the cabinet.

it can't. It is better that it is done on shelf's unless your under cabinet looks like a shelf. It doesn't have the screw mounts on it like most under the cabinet products. it is mainly for a shelf like in cupboards .

Mounting brackets have a slight bend, but it wouldn't take much to straighten them out. I'd say it could be mounted either way. After shortening, ours is almost vertical.

Hi Ross. I did it some time ago, but I seem to remember that there is a stainless mounting bracket (use butterfly anchors) and the unit slips over the bracket. I DO remember it was easy. THe unit is well made and will last. I have two of them.Best - Jahn in Cincinnati

I no longer have this fan, but, no, I don't think you could remove it from the bracket once installed.

It doesn't appear that the shelves come out so there is no way to get a screwdriver into the unit to do the mounting. Additionally, the outer housing is made of plastic, so you would have to be very careful in supporting it if you do.
