Under desk vesa mount ? (lemmy.world)

So I've got this 1 liter PC I would like to mount under my desk. I got the compatible vesa kit from lenovo, and would rather use the standard bolts that are provided.

How do I fix them to my particle board desk? Simple holes will not hold the tight thread of the bolts, and I didn't find 'hollow' screws that would hold these, I'm not even sure they exist.

What would be the solution here? Just skip the bolts and put some regular screws? I fear the result won't be very clean...

Thanks

Look for "threaded inserts," probably something with a coarse thread. These will give you a mounting point for machine screws.

If you're worried about using just the four provided bolts (I would be), use multiple inserts or regular screws to attach a board at multiple points, then use the inserts on the board.
