Baby proofing pc

regulator86 · 12 Dec 2011 at 10:46

So my little one is growing up quick and I need something to cover my Antec 300 when It's not in use, so she doesn't dribble over the top exhaust fan or poke fingers into the usb socket.

I'm looking for a case like this:

But can't seem to find anything in stock the UK. It'll only be in use when I'm not using the pc.

any ideas?

I don't think that will protect enough. It can be grabbed, dragged, and holes can be poked in it. The best protection IMHO is a shut door.

Yes I can help you here.

I bought a fireguard from Argos for around £15 to protect my WC floor standing PC. I took it apart then folded it back on itself so it covered the length of the PC on the floor. I then used cable ties to secure it all back.. I used the supplied hooks to secure it on the wall. I might have a picture somewhere so will have a delve through

My 2 year old nephew is always trying to touch my pc and give him 5 seconds in the room and he turns it off :mad:

. So like cats i just shut the door.

Cheers guys,

Admiral - do you have a link to the product?

Yes it was this one here:

It's a little more expensive now but still worth it.. look at the shape. You can possibly see what I did.. I took the back section, removed the back and used that on the front side and remaining roof section using the cable ties.

You need to prime them from the off by touching the PC and then pretending to be hurt akin to touching something hot. Worked with my 3. They watch you and steer clear then.

That's a genius idea. Thanks!

Definitely this, make it very clear that being near the PC is a big "no-no".
