Securing a Dell 2407

Vertigo · 3 Feb 2008 at 20:10

I need to secure a Dell 2407 screen against removal/theft. It has a small rectangular hole on the back with a padlock symbol next to it which seems to be for this purpose, the question is, what fits into this hole? Is it the Kensington type lock I've see and, if so, where can I get such a thing from?

You can get them direct from the Dell site, if I remember correctly. Should be around with the desktop accessories.

Had a look but can't see anything obviously compatible on there.

It's an industry standard kensington lock, otherwise known as a laptop lock. You can pick them up anywhere these days, I've got my monitor, laptop and external soundcard all secured with them, very handy.

Edit: As for where exactly to get them, hard to say without mentioning a competitor, but my local computer shop has them, as do lots of e-tailors. OCUK might even, I've never looked.
