We recently installed 10 Sun 386i machines out in a student design studio. All of the equipment was secured with Anchor Pads. The core of the system is a large (12" x 12" or there abouts) metal plate that is attached to the surface of a large object with a "super-glue" type of adhesive. Mounting brackets are then attached to the monitor and system cabinet and these brackets are secured to the plates with a rod and key mechanism. It would take a lot of force to remove the systems from the drafting tables. The major drawback to the system appears when you move some equipment to a new location. You're left with an ugly metal plate attached to your tables. Anchor Pad claims that they have a solvent that will remove them but we've never bothered. If someone wants your equipement they're going to get it, but Anchor Pads make it a lot more difficult. Anchor Pad - (617) 868-8370. (I'm sure they have offices elsewhere, but this is the one we deal with.) -David Kovar Technical Consultant Harvard University
