On the lookout for a sloped console for critical electrical equipment? Choose this handy desktop enclosure from Hammond. Its construction from 18-gauge mild steel and aluminium makes it hardwearing, so it's a safe bet when you need a protective enclosure to shield small units such as control modules or power supplies from environmental hazards. These materials are also easy to machine, letting you cut access holes in the top panel so you can reach device controls easily. Vertical cut-outs on both sides of the unit support effective ventilation, which helps ensure your stored gadgets don't run the risk of overheating.

• Research and development labs

A powder paint coating adds impressive robustness, giving the component resistance to chipping, fading and scratching, so it's a tough nut for use in demanding industrial settings.
