Selected answer:a cabinet for a PC computer
Explanation:
Unless there is anything in your context to suggest otherwise, PC here would usually stand for Personal Computer — the general term used to denote any 'normal' computer these days.

'cabinet' of course means an enclosure or housing; impossible to tell from the little context if this is just the usual 'box' that houses your computer, or some larger assembly in a major installation.
