The bracket is able to receive a separate device (e.g. a PC enclosure of other electronic components), such that said device can be slidable and accessible from behind the flat panel display when it is mounted thereto. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-14. (canceled) ### Claim 15 A mounting apparatus including a bracket for mounting behind a flat panel display and adapted to receive a separate device, such that said device can be slidable into and out from behind the flat panel display when it is mounted thereto, to be locatable at a range of slidable positions. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The mounting apparatus of claim 15 wherein, in use, the device is slidable to a position adjacent an outside edge of the flat panel display. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The mounting apparatus of claim 15 wherein the bracket includes an opening for enabling the separate device to be slidably received. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The mounting apparatus of claim 15 including a fixing element such that the device can be secured in a user-customisable place, prohibiting further sliding movement. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The mounting apparatus of claim 15 further including a wall mount element for demountably receiving the bracket thereto. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The mounting apparatus of claim 15 wherein the bracket includes a VESA pattern of holes to align with the rear of the flat panel display. ### Claim 21 (depends on 15) The mounting apparatus of claim 15 including a tubular portion in the bracket for telescopically receiving a tubular portion of the device. ### Claim 22 (depends on 15) The mounting apparatus of claim 15 including a shaped opening for slidably receiving a like-shaped part of the device. ### Claim 23 (depends on 15) The mounting apparatus of claim 15 comprised of two or more brackets aligned to receive the separate device. ### Claim 24 (depends on 17) A combination of the mounting apparatus of claim 17 with a peripheral device, wherein the peripheral device includes a part sized to fit within the opening. ### Claim 25 A bracket adapted to be coupled, at one side, to the rear of a first object to be mounted on a wall surface, the bracket providing an opening adapted to slidably receive a second object to be mounted between the first object and the wall, wherein the slidable engagement enables the second object to be configured at any desirable location relative to the first object. ### Claim 26 (depends on 25) A set of two or more brackets according to claim 25 arranged such that the respective openings are aligned to slidably receive the second object. ### Claim 27 (depends on 15) A device including a portion suitable for being received by the mounting apparatus of claim 15. ### Claim 28 (depends on 27) The device of claim 27 including a chassis which is expandable such that its outside edges are locatable a short distance from the edges of the flat panel display behind which it is mounted. ### Claim 29 (depends on 22) A combination of the mounting apparatus of claim 22 with a peripheral device, wherein the peripheral device includes a part sized to fit within the opening. ### Claim 30 A combination of a mounting device and an electronic device, wherein in use the electronic device is to be mounted behind a flat panel display by the mounting device, the respective mounting device and electronic device including mating portions such that the electronic device can be slidable into and out from behind the flat panel display when it is mounted thereto by the mounting device, to be locatable at a range of slidable positions.
