Need to find way to keep PC physically safe.

[Kilo_Pascal]

A few days ago, a friend asked me if it was possible to lock under key his server. I know there are server racks that have lock and key but he uses a conventional ATX PC tower case to run his server. Using a locked box does not seem very reasonable because of airflow. He insists that a average kensington is not enough due to it being just a cable.

Any idea if there is any product out there that might help?

A Kensington can be sufficient if the case it is attached to is lockable. I would think a new case that has lockable side panels and front panel plus a Kensington is the appropriate answer.

But there is this option -- http://www.computersecurity.com/lockdown/cpulocker.htm

There are quite a few server tower cases out there that offer a higher level of physical security than your typical consumer tower, but they typically are a lot more expensive. $250-$400 range for a decent one. I can't really offer any specific models, but I was one the hunt for something similar a couple years ago and know they aren't hard to come by. But expect prices to be on the higher end. You're not going to find cheaper cases with niche features.
