Don't know about special screws, but I used the generic PC locking kits with
cables.  There is an attachment that screws onto the case, normally using
one of the screw holes that also close the case.  When the cable is run
through this attachment, it blocks access to the screw, therefore, no access
to the inside of the case without first unlocking it and removing the cable.
