Abstract
A system for spacing and stabilizing a row of computers includes a strap attached to a plurality of spacer blocks. The strap is arrayed over top of the computer row, and each spacer block is inserted between a pair of adjacent computers to provide substantially uniform spacing between the computers. An anchor block attached to each end of the strap is wrapped around an end computer at each end of the row, and each anchor block engages the corresponding end computer to limit movement of the strap. The assembly of the strap, the spacer blocks and the anchor blocks with the row of computers stabilizes the row of computers and inhibits a lateral toppling motion of the individual computers.
