New Physically Secure ATX Cases?

[drewster]

Have a client that will have their computer in a fairly public place. There is a potential for theft from people walking by in the area, or even potentially employee theft.

They are looking to build a somewhat high-end system and would like the ability to physically lock it down.

I've seen some nice locking cable systems, but will need a case with the lock will fit on.

Does anyone have experience with this? Would love a recommendation for a good secure case that will fit some high-end modern hardware.

Many of the articles I've seen have been for cases that aren't out there anymore, and really would like a sleek modern looking secure case.

you may need to use an industrial enclosure

Thanks for the suggestion, however this may be a little overkill for their needs.

Computer will be in a mall Kiosk. The Kiosk does have a lockable enclosure, however, the case needs to be locked to the Kiosk preferably.

I've seen a lot of cases with the little lock tab on the back, however most of them seem pretty flimsy. A more sturdy solution would definitely be more ideal.

If it just needs to be locked down and not really protected from being turned on/off... A quick Newegg search brought this up. Seems to be a decent enough case with Kensington lock support. Definitely don't use it's cheapo PSU included, though.

I'm also a "build junkie". What kind of specs/price range do they want? I'll whip up the best price/performance parts on Newegg real quick.
