Do you guys know of any grounding bars for perminent installlation?
I am talkign about the ones like you have in your home electrical box for neutral and ground, but smaller. I know I can just use a piece of wire, but that's sloppy... I am mounting this on wood, so it doesn't have to be insulated. I just need some power bars of different lenths for ground, 5V, and maybe 3.3v.
Again, they don't have to be insulated, and I want 3 individual ones, not one single one with 3 channels.
You could also buy steel, copper or aluminum bar stock, drill it out, then tap the holes for screws. It would take a little bit of time and effort (and its a bit messy, what with the oil needed for tapping), but you'd get -exactly- what you wanted, and learn a new skill along the way. A tap/die kit from Harbor Freight is fairly cheap (less the $20.00).
You can also get individual taps and matching drills from your local hardware store. If you only need a couple of sizes, that might be cheaper than even going to Harbor Fright for a set.
Vector used to make a "bus strip", perforated on .2" centers, for adding power busses to wire-wrap boards. Not sure whether they're made of copper or someother metal, but they're nickel-plated, and much heavier than a standard PCB trace (I'm guessing at least 2-3x). They're good for soldered "bus bar" use in LED arrays and such. Dunno if they're still available.
