pete Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I need a secure enclosure (floor-standing, ideally) for a single tower server (Dell T20) that'll stand up to the rigors of primary school life. The schools don't have suitable areas to secure servers and I (and the auditors) would be happier with a steel box. ideally sleek and form-fitting, but with sufficient space around for airflow / fitting the replacement server in X years time.

There are also acoustic cabs - great idea for when you need a PoE switch in an office or classroom. 6U Acoustic Wall Mounted Data Cabinets 600 Wide 600 Deep | Server Room Environments 1
pete Posted February 9, 2021 Author Posted February 9, 2021 I've considered adding to the existing wall-mount cabinets, but while it'd be neater it'll require a rackmount UPS, the doors replacing for mesh and I'd be adding ~35KG of weight to an already fairly-loaded cabinet (4 switches, CCTV box, phone system, NAS) that's located above a thoroughfare for small squishy people. vs "Put steel box around to satisfy security/audit requirement".
