A security enclosure that may include at least three supports with each support secured to a surface, at least two panels with each panel installed between adjacent ones of the supports, and a locking device that may selectively permit and prevent removal of the panels. A method of securing equipment in a security enclosure that may include the steps of arranging supports around the equipment being secured, and securing the supports. The method may also include inserting a panel in the supports and inserting another panel in the supports. One panel may prevent removal of the other panel from the supports, and each of the panels may be retained between the adjacent ones of the supports.

1. A security enclosure for securing equipment, the enclosure comprising: first and second panels;at least two supports, wherein a first channel of each of the supports slidingly receives the first panel within the first channel in a first direction, and wherein a second channel of each of the supports slidingly receives the second panel within the second channel in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; anda locking device which secures the second panel in place within the supports, whereby removal of the first and second panels is prevented when the locking device is engaged. 2. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein the equipment within the enclosure is secured when the locking device prevents removal of the panels. 3. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein the panels are made of a material selected from at least one of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, glass, expanded metal, mesh, plastic, and wood. 4. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein the panels include openings which permit airflow through the panels. 5. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein each of the supports comprises a structure having one of a rectangular, square, polygon, C-channel, L-angle, oval, and circular cross-section. 6. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein at least one of the supports is secured firmly in position, thereby substantially preventing removal of the enclosure from about the equipment. 7. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein a reinforcement bar is installed between the supports, thereby substantially preventing displacement of the supports relative to each other. 8. The enclosure of claim 1, wherein the first channel of each of the supports includes a first longitudinal channel which runs parallel to a longitudinal axis of the support. 9. The enclosure of claim 8, wherein the first longitudinal channel has a stop at one end. 10. The enclosure of claim 8, wherein at least one of the supports includes a second longitudinal channel which runs parallel to the longitudinal axis and is spaced apart from the first longitudinal channel. 11. The enclosure of claim 8, wherein the first panel is inserted into the first longitudinal channels. 12. The enclosure of claim 8, wherein the second channel includes an orthogonal channel which is disposed at an end of each of the supports, wherein the orthogonal channel is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. 13. The enclosure of claim 12, wherein the second panel is inserted into the orthogonal channels. 14. The enclosure of claim 13, wherein the second panel prevents removal of the first panel from the first longitudinal channels when the second panel is positioned in the orthogonal channels. 15. The enclosure of claim 13, wherein the locking device, when engaged, prevents removal of the second panel from the orthogonal channels, thereby preventing removal of all panels. 16. A method of securing equipment in a security enclosure, the method comprising the steps of: arranging supports around the equipment being secured;securing at least one of the supports;then inserting a first panel in the supports; andthen inserting a second panel in the supports, the second panel preventing removal of the first panel from the supports. 17. The method of claim 16, the method further comprising the step of installing a locking device, thereby securing the equipment within the enclosure. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the installing step further comprises securing the second panel within the supports, thereby preventing removal of all panels. 19. The method of claim 17, the method further comprising the step of removing the locking device, thereby allowing removal of all panels from the supports, and thereby gaining access to the equipment. 20. The method of claim 16, the method further comprising the step of installing a reinforcement bar between adjacent ones of the supports, thereby substantially preventing separation of the adjacent ones of the supports relative to each other. 21. The method of claim 16, wherein the securing step further comprises embedding an end of at least one of the supports into the earth, thereby substantially preventing removal of the support from the earth. 22. The method of claim 16, wherein the securing step further comprises embedding an end of at least one of the supports into a volume of cement and allowing the cement to harden, thereby substantially preventing removal of the support from the volume of cement. 23. The method of claim 16, wherein the securing step further comprises fastening an end of at least one of the supports to a surface, thereby substantially preventing removal of the support from the surface. 24. The method of claim 16, wherein the inserting the first panel step further comprises sliding the first panel into a longitudinal channel on each of adjacent ones of the supports. 25. The method of claim 16, wherein the inserting the second panel step further comprises sliding the second panel into an orthogonal channel on an end of at least one of the supports. 26. A security enclosure for securing equipment, the enclosure comprising: first and second panels;at least two supports that slidingly receive the first panel in a first direction, and slidingly receive the second panel in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, wherein each of the supports includes a first longitudinal channel which runs parallel to a longitudinal axis of the support, and wherein an end of each of the supports includes an orthogonal channel which is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis; anda locking device which secures the second panel in place within the supports, whereby removal of the first and second panels is prevented when the locking device is engaged. 27. The enclosure of claim 26, wherein the second panel is inserted into the orthogonal channels, and wherein the second panel prevents removal of the first panel from the first longitudinal channels when the second panel is positioned in the orthogonal channels.
