Physically securing desktop lab computers

[[527]phil]

you could bolt a peice of plywood to the computer, at an angle. kinda like this (excuse the crued drawing), that way you woudn't be able to get your hand in to unplug the cable.

Not verry pretty, but it should work, if you use wood screws to screw it down to the table, and bolt it to the computer case, that should deter them enough not to take it. I don't know how your cases are attached so bolting it might not be possible. but i think you get the jist of my idea.

And just put something over the back to prevent them from unplugging the wires.

I have seen something (can't find it on the internet though...) that is a metal peice that covers the back of the system and if i remember correctly locks (or bolts) at the top. Thier are vent holes and holes for wires but once wires are put through they can't be taken out without a good amount of effort.

You could always take some suggestions from the guys over at this site.

Namely, these guys:

Our marines had taken the order to secure things pretty seriously, because they had done it with two half inch lag bolts. They had drilled straight through the case, the mother board, the bottom of the case, and the desk it was sitting on, to drop the lag bolts in place.
