Nah they dont
Personally id use some SS bolts thru the back into a standoff inside, then some silicon over the bolt if i went that path
Those cases are very durable, I house my drone in one.

I went to look at them at my local Bunnings yesterday but had none that I could find.
I’ve been using these in different sizes depending on use and just about to make a couple 4 PSU PI boxes

Those DSE hiboxes are great. I have a couple in use here.
They are much larger than the CG-1500 though, so may be overkill for some.

I've used a couple of these Tactix Tan cases in large for mine: https://www.bunnings.com.au/tactix-tough-case-in-tan-large_p0331395
They seem to work quite well - waterproof, with the exception of a breather hole that's under the handle. This let through two drops of water with 5 minutes of direct hose spraying. Its purpose is to do pressure equalisation so that you can open the case if the outdoor pressure changes. Obviously this can be sealed up, but if you're gonna put vents on it because there's a PSU in it, then there's not much point.
This one has 2x power supplies underneath, and the upper deck has two fuse blocks and a PixelBone48 controller.
This has 1x PSU, 1x DMX2-24, and a 31V boost PSU on the bottom deck, and a HE123 on the top deck
And finally this one has a single deck - one PSU and an F16v4 in it. It's been finished, but I haven't been bothered to get pictures.
In all three cases, a piece of 3mm acrylic was cut as the base, I drilled some mounting holes in it, and marked the position on the base of the case.
Then some M3 screws were attached to the acrylic, going into plastic/vinyl standoffs.
Some epoxy was mixed up, and placed on my marks on the base of the case. The acrylic with standoffs was then pushed into these epoxy dots, weight put on top, and left to harden.
Finally the screws were undone, and the acrylic removed. This gave me standoffs in the base of the case, lined up with my drilled holes, and no penetrations through the base of the case were made.

I’ve got one of those, and two of the black craftright ones. I drilled out the breather hole and put my Powercon input there.I've used a couple of these Tactix Tan cases in large for mine: https://www.bunnings.com.au/tactix-tough-case-in-tan-large_p0331395

I used 6mm HDPE sheet as my base but have m6 screws through the base, sealed, then to a coupler then run m6 threaded rod
