PC Security Thoughts (Hardware)
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. -- Sue |

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.. -- Sue |
