If you mean mounting the PCBs vertically, no. I have two CGS PCBs at hand
that are both longer than 3U is tall. You'd have to mount them perpendicular
to the front panel.

I don't really understand your question, but there are some photos of my
current method of mounting PCBs on front panels at my website,
www.studionebula.com -- see the (currently) topmost article on the main
page; there's a link to the photos within the article. You could also use
Larry Hendry's Stooge Bracket method; see www.wiseguysynth.com . I'm fond of
my method because it doesn't require metal-working, but his method is
probably sturdier if ruggedness is a priority. CGS PCBs are fairly small and
hence don't have much mass, so I suspect that my epoxy method is plenty
strong enough. Or you could simply put machine screws through the front of
the panel and use threaded standoffs on the back, if you don't mind having
screw heads on the fronts of your panels.
