Well, I don't know whether super glue will work or not.  Personally I 
attached home made security devices to my station with epoxy.  It worked well
(it's necessary to remove the paint from the relevant area first).  Of
course, it's never going to come off, which could conceivably be a problem
if I ever want to sell.  It doesn't look that stylish either.

I tried to find commercial security products, but all the ones in our local
computer stores looked hopelessly inadequate.  So I made some plates from
tool steel, cut holes in them, and then epoxied some to the components of my 
machine and a couple to my desk.  Then I locked through them with Kryptonite
locks.  The cpu itself is locked down from both sides, so it's impossible
to lift it to get at the screws.  I don't think it could be stolen without
application of much time and patience or else industrial tools.  I took so
much trouble over it because it's my machine, but sits in my graduate office
which is usually open and to which hundreds of people have a key.  I wasn't
sleeping too well at night without good security arrangements.
