No two industrial facilities are the same, which is why finding the perfect computer enclosure can be a challenge. How do you keep your computer safe from theft, humidity, and dust without causing it to overheat? From regulating your computer’s temperature to adding on a secure lock, customizing a computer enclosure may help you keep your equipment as safe as possible.
You might need to keep your computer warm if it’s housed in a freezer or a cold outdoor environment. A heating upgrade that provides an internal, thermostat-controlled enclosure heater will keep your equipment at an operational temperature in even the coldest of environments. Using this upgrade, you can strategically place your enclosure where it is most needed without sacrificing the equipment’s performance.
If your facility’s temperature fluctuates frequently, consider adding on a large digital temperature display to monitor the enclosure’s internal temperature. You can even set alarms that will go off if the enclosure becomes too hot or cold.
Is your computer in a high-traffic area? Are you concerned about unauthorized personnel accessing your equipment? Add a layer of security by upgrading your door enclosure with a lock. You can even store sensitive documents, important tools, or blank checks in a protected enclosure.
You can increase the storage capabilities of your enclosure by incorporating additional shelves. For better access to your stored items, you could add a fully extending, slide-out shelf. Finally, if you would prefer to store your enclosure above the ground, consider adding a wall-mount shelf system to support your enclosure. Using this tool, you can mount your enclosure on a wall. You could also purchase a base table to create a workstation at the appropriate height.
In some environments, an additional filtration system may come in handy. If you’re storing vulnerable equipment, tools, or materials in your base cabinet, the extra shielding can protect your enclosure’s contents from lint, dust, debris, and other airborne contaminants.
Printers and computers that are used frequently can be loud and annoying for workers who are trying to get their jobs done. Create a pleasant, distraction-free work environment by adding acoustic sound-deadening foam to your enclosure.
There are several ways to customize the monitor on a computer enclosure:
When customizing a computer enclosure, you can also manage the power distribution and cabling inside the enclosure. If your equipment could benefit from such technology, consider adding a power upgrade with a front-mounted power switch, a surge protector, and a long industrial power cord.
