Any advise appreciated.

I am thinking i need to find a vendor who sells security cable
(different lengths which is looped at either end.

This will allow us to put te cable through the empty pci vent slots
and then round the desks and padlock them.

Anyone know any better methods for securing pc's to desks or suitable
vendors.

Any yacht chandler will be able to make them up to the length required.
You probably want ESFSSWR (extra special flexible stainless steel wire
rope) with Tellurit splices.

You haven't said what your worries are - different solutions lend
themselves to whether you don't want them stolen, don't want them
opened, don't want them moved, etc.

One extreme:
My local pound shop sells laptop cable with locks for, yes, a pound
each. Just drill and file-out a hole in the desk (or the pc) and use them.

The other:
A steel box, bolted to the desk/floor - into which the pc is put and
secured.



Know any online cheap yacht chandlers?


Cheap, no. IME, Government Surplus is the best place for ESFSSWR bulk
cable, if you can find one with some stock. They also do anti-fouling at
an excellent price. The good stuff, that isn't available from chandlers..
