Take the single screw that holds on the case, and go to a specialty bolt supply house, and ask for one that has matching threads, but takes a really weird tool to remove it. (Like a drill...) 2. Take your next to the place you wish to install it. 3. Open the case. 4. drill serveral holes through the bottom. (Work around the pc board.) 5. Attach the bottom to the table with large screws. 6. Close next with special screw. This still leaves them free to steal mouse, keyboard and monitor, but the cpu is fairly secure. Alternately, several companies market glue on hasps. You epoxy these onto the various parts, and the table, then run a cable through them all. Only as secure as your cable. Finally, set up another machine to ping that demo machine every minute. If the ping doesn't return, raise all hell.
