Abstract
A modular electronic equipment cabinet system has a support structure constructed primarily of steel tubing of square cross-section. The support structure is integrally welded to provide a cabinet of maximum strength, minimum size, minimum expense and minimum weight, when compared to prior art cabinet systems utilizing formed, sheet metal support structures. The use of steel tubing also facilitates other advantages: superior door hinge design, stronger bottom dust skirt structure, the provision for interchangeable leg levelers and casters which produce greater stability, and a unique side wall panel design. Novel air vent louvers are also disclosed.
