An electronics cabinet (12) has a welded frame (46) formed of sections of metal sheet which define a top (14), a base (16) and four corner posts (18). Two of the sections of metal sheet are formed into a pan-like configurations to define the top (14) and the base (16). Four of the sections of meal sheet are formed to define the four corner posts (18), each having a long side (144) and a short side (146) which are perpendicular. The longer sides (144) of the corner posts (18) are aligned parallel to a depth of the cabinet (12). Lengths of the four corner posts (18) extend for the height of the cabinet (12), with end portions (78) of the corner posts (18) overlapping and fitting flush against the outer sides (62, 64) of respective ones of the corners (15, 17) of the top (14) and base (16). The top (14) and the base (16) have corner openings defined by apertures (80) and by slots (120) which extend through the sidewalls(62, 64) adjacent to end portions (78) of the corner posts (18) which overlap the top (14) and the base (16). The openings defined by the apertures (80) are plug welded to the corner post (18). Edges (162, 164) of the corner posts (18) and edges (116, 122) of the top (14) and base (16), which are interior of the cabinet (12), are fillet welded together. Four mounting rails (36) are aligned in parallel and welded to respective ones of the top (14) and base (16), two of the rails (36) mounted to the top (14) and two of the rails (36) mounted to the base (16). Two foot plates (44) are mounted to the underside of the base (16), spaced apart and perpendicular to lengths of the two mounting rails (36) mounted to the topside of the base (16).

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An electronics cabinet having a height, a width and a depth, said cabinet comprising in combination:a top formed of a first section of metal sheet, said top being formed into a pan-like configuration having a top central portion which defines a top of said cabinet and plurality of topsides which extend from said top central portion, transverse to said top central portion, to define top corners and top rim portions which extend adjacent to lower edges of said topsides;a base formed of a second section of metal sheet, said base being formed into a pan-like configuration having a base central portion which defines a floor of said cabinet and a plurality of base sides which extend from said base central portion, transverse to said base central portion, to define base corners and base rim portions which extend adjacent to upper edges of said base sides;four posts formed of respective sections of flat metal sheet, said posts having lengths which extend said height of said cabinet, with end portions of said posts overlapping and fitting flush against outer sides of respective ones of said top and base corners of said top and base sides; andsaid posts further having respective post sides which define post widths and post thicknesses, said post widths being at least two and one-half times wider than said post thicknesses and extending parallel to said depth of said cabinet, and said post thicknesses extending parallel to said width of said cabinet;said top and base sides having openings formed there-through proximate to said corners and adjacent to said end portions of said posts which overlap said top and base corners, said openings defining edge portions of said top and base sides which are adjacent to said openings;plug welds joining said end portions of said posts and said edge portions of said top and base sides which are adjacent to said openings; andfillet welds joining said end portions of said posts and said top and base rim portions.
