I used a small metal tool cabinet with a addition for the monitor, with a flip down shelf for the keyboard and mouse. I used a Dell SSF type PC due to its smaller overall size, you can see it inside the bottom with other electronics. The keyboard shelf flips up to close off the monitor compartment.
Here are other ones I have built too. Had filter air input and fan exhaust for cooling the electronics.

They were a build how I wanted at the time here is another from a different table. This one was mounted on the table side leg much different shape but enclosed the electronics and monitor. The PC can be mounted in about any position just insure air flow for cooling. I put filters on the inlet and fans pulled the air out the other side.

There are a variety of options available for protecting your desktop computer from dust and debris when using a CNC plasma cutter table. One option is to use a dustproof computer cabinet. These cabinets are designed to protect computers and other electronic equipment from dust, dirt, and other airborne contaminants.
