Avoid cheap parts, especially if mechanical. Invest in quality, you always get what you pay for. Otherwise your entire system might later develop intermittent faults.<ref>[https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=861269 On cheap parts...], Muff Wiggler forum, July 2012</ref><ref>[https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=108045&start=all&postdays=0&postorder=asc The Pitfalls of Choosing Quality Brands of Components?], Muff Wiggler forum, March 2014</ref> Vertical mount front panel components will need to of a similar height to neatly fit the gap between the PCB and front panel.
 
In order to construct low profile/[[skiff]] friendly Eurorack modules '''vertical mount components''' are required. These allow the [[PCB]] to be mounted parallel to the front panel, keeping module depth to a minimum.<ref name="erthenvar">[http://erthenvar.com/store/accessories/3.5mm-vertical-mount-jacks 3.5mm Vertical Mount Jacks], Erthenvar</ref><ref name="stds">[https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45878 Want to create a eurorack panel, need to know standards], Muff Wiggler forum, Nov 2011</ref>
