Where can I find a good ATX case with security locks in the front and side panels?

I'm not sure how much security they actually provide, but Antec SX800/1000 are great cases and do have security locks on the front door and side panel.

The Antec sx1030 and sx1040 lock both the front and side panel, the 830 and 840 just the side panel. These will prevent casual tampering, not serious B&E. Also sold under the Enermax, Chieftec, Chenming and Uneec labels.

Many boxes have a padlock hasp for the side cover. This box has a lockable front, but the power&reset buttons are exposed- I have no experience with it-

Some fileserver boxes are also lockable, if ridiculously expensive. I suspect that some rackmount stuff has good locks & hardware, but no experience with it.

Chenming makes the cases. Antec is a reseller. Just a correction.

The side locks on the Chenming are top notch. They aren't cheap and would be hard to break. The front lock is just hot glued on. It is easy to break open, but if it is has been tampered with it can be easily seen.

Good Luck!
