Monitors are secured in the 8U case by means of three adjustable retaining brackets. A hinged front panel allows access across the full width, thereby allowing access to the varied monitor control elements. Sponge-rubber seal between the monitor and the plexiglass panel preventing contamination of the monitor tube. The steel faceplate is powder-coated and has two anodised aluminium carry handles. The monitor housing can be fitted with telescopic rails as an option. Supplied standard in a kit form or assembled upon request.

* 19" mount keyboard tray: available in a 1U or 2U powder-coated face plate, which can be closed and clipped in place when not in use. The reduced width mini-keyboard fits behind a work surface, and includes a mouse pocket with A4 paper storage under the work surface. The keyboard tray is fitted with telescopic lock-out slide rails as standard.

* Commercial and industrial 19" computer cases: unversal 4U x 19" x 400 mm deep rack-mounted computer case manufactured from 2 mm powder-coated mild steel. Front lockable door adds security to all drives and switches. 5,25" or 3,5" drives as standard are possible. Front accesss fan filter holder aids easier cleaning. Commercial motherboards can be mounted or by adding 'quick to fit' shock mount cradle an industrial grade/passive backplane can be used. Each computer case is fan-pressurised to keep out dust.
