ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a computer component securing device. It includes a main housing having a bottom, sidewalls, a front, back and an open top, and at least one cut-out in at least one of the bottom, front, back and sidewalls for passing a table securing device at least partially therethrough; and, a lid having attached thereto a computer securing mechanism for fixedly attaching a computer component thereto. The lid is connected to the main housing so as to have a first, open position whereby a computer component may be attached to the lid and so as to have a second, closed position such that an attached computer component cannot be removed therefrom, but so as to expose the functional aspects of the computer component for utilization by a user when the lid is in its second, closed position. The device also includes: a lock connected to the lid and main housing and adapted so as to permit locking and unlocking of the lid and main housing when the lid is in its second, closed position; and, a table securing mechanism extending through at least one opening in the main housing and connected to the inside of the main housing, and having an attachment mechanism outside of the main housing which is securably connectable to a table. Thus, the table securing mechanism be attached to a table from operating it from the inside of the main housing and, when the lid is in its second, closed position and is locked, the table securing mechanism cannot be unattached from the table without damaging the device or the table to which it is attached.
