Although we currently have not experienced a problem with internal
tampering of hardware components because each of our labs are
monitored with student consultants.  Furthermore, many of of our
machines have been placed in cases (brackets) underneath the desk
with only the power on switch and 3.5 drive being accessible.

Otherwise, there is the possibility of installing torx head screws
that require special screwdrivers.

Please post what you direction you have taken, we may be faced with
similar scenarios someday.
