You can purchase an item very much like the one discribed above, and other fine security products (no, I'm not a sales rep), from Anchor Pad Internatt (714-842-2378) part #2017.5300 (aka the LP 13x15 with Adapter Kit) for $78.41. Basically you drop your slab snug inside of this cradle, lock it down, and never worry about somebody walking off with your CPU again. As for the monitor, one can purchase a plate which sticks to it (super glue?) and then runs a cable down to an anchor. However, I am sure somebody has designed a cradle in which the monitor can drop into too. I didn't opt for this route though. Kent@Virginia.edu
