Secure CPU Side Cabinet

This steel side cabinet attaches to compatible Global Industrial computer cabinets to enclose a CPU tower. The unit adds secure, ventilated storage for IT equipment in office or industrial settings. It is intended for facilities that need lockable side-mounted hardware storage. Buyers needing a freestanding CPU enclosure or a unit that mounts without a host cabinet should look elsewhere.

Thermals and Noise

Louvered doors on the cabinet provide passive airflow around the installed CPU tower. The steel construction contains operating noise from the enclosed system within the cabinet interior. No active cooling components are included, so thermal performance depends on the CPU tower's own cooling and the ambient environment. Power draw is determined entirely by the installed computer equipment.

Included Hardware and Fit

Roll-formed edge hooks on the lower compartment allow the cabinet to hook onto Mobile Security CRT, LCD, and Console computer cabinets. A cylinder lock secures the louvered doors. The design functions as a side shelf for added space, though a side shelf and side cabinet cannot be installed on the same side of a host cabinet simultaneously.

Questions about this item

How do I hook the cabinet onto the main computer cabinet, and what is the step people miss?

The roll-formed edge hooks on the lower compartment attach directly to the side of a compatible Global Industrial computer cabinet; the step often missed is that you cannot mount both this side cabinet and a side shelf on the same side simultaneously.

What maintenance or replacement will the cylinder lock need over time?

The lock mechanism may eventually require lubrication or a replacement cylinder if the key wears or the tumblers bind; no other scheduled maintenance is described for the steel cabinet body.

What is the first limitation you hit when loading the cabinet continuously?

The cabinet is sized 12"W x 22-1/2"D x 21-1/2"H, so the physical interior volume is the first limit that restricts how large a CPU tower can be stored inside.
