We have all Macs locked with the official Apple security kits, but we found that
it's real easy to break them. After one of our Macs was stolen, the cable was
found on the table, neatly cut in two pieces. One of my colleages later managed
to cut this cable with normal scissors! So much for Security... The best thing
you can do is not to buy the Apple stuff, but go to a hardware shop, buy some
twisted steel cable, thin plastic hose and a lock. This will cost you a 
fraction of what Apple charges you for their securety kit, and it will give
you as much or better protection.
