Anyone know of a good secure desktop case..with a way to lock it and such.

I need to be able to lock it securely.

Thanks for the help

my antec has a bicycle lock thingy on it.

dell cases you can put master locks on

 

Yep, my Dell case has a hole big enough for a padlock.

I've got this one (well, not the same thing but a slightly older model)

Here's the link for it at newegg.

I don't know how secure you need it but at least it's got a couple of locks on it.

is there any place that sells the case like dells?

this is a custom computer that im building and must be secure

You could just drill a hole in the floor and side panel of the case and thread a nice big chain through it You only need a drill, very easy.

I have one of those too. The lock on the front couldn't stop a determined 6-year old. Not very secure.

If you want to secure just the hard-drive, you can always get one of those removeable enclosures...

How big a' drill bits you got there? You can set up some pretty high security by picking up a very good U-lock and drilling two appropriately-spaced holes straight through the case and mobo tray (use a microATX mobo to leave room for this stunt). Heck, go right through the desk/counter if possible, and put the crossbar on underneath. Even if you don't go through the desk/counter, no one's getting the cover off without bringing a good set of tinsnips to cut the case apart (or an oxy-acetylene torch to cut the lock with).

(^ thinking outside the box )

Umm, how secure does it need to be ? Like, set up in a room where nobody's around amongst a bunch of monitarily deprived geeks secure or just enough to stop most people who look at a computer ?

Get two straps of aluminum and bend 'em into U shapes, with tails on the ends going outwards. Drill holes in the tails. Put 'em over the PC one front-back, the other side-side and bolt 'em to the floor.

To answer your question, the Antec Performance Plus 660 AMG is what I have, it has a lock on the side that really can't be opened without the key (comes with two). It is like those locks that used to be on PC's that kept them from booting up. It is a great case, comes with 2 case fans and a dust screen for the front, and the excellent Antec Truepower 330 watt. Very quiet. It IS a heavy case, though.
