In older computers, a '''mounting box''' is a metal enclosure (often sized to fit into a standard rack, such as a 19" rack) which is designed to hold a number of the [[printed circuit board]]s which are part of a computer; either the [[Central Processing Unit|CPU]], [[main memory]], or [[peripheral]]s.

The mounting box often includes a [[backplane]], for the boards to plug into, and may also include a [[power supply]], although those are often mounted externally.
