Office Cabinets

So I got four EFFEKTIV office cabinets from IKEA and have been eager to put them up in my wife and I's apartment. Unfortunately once opening it up I realized that the wholes on the cabinet where it is to be mounted on the wall do not correspond to the wall studs.

I was able to find this excellent forum post over at IKEAFANS. A post on the forum suggested using a suspension rail that IKEA offers with some of its other products (ie - Akurum Cabinets). Why IKEA doesn't offer this solution with all of their cabinet systems is beyond me, but hopefully this little mix and match hack will help out.
