Recent Dell systems also have a password feature that is enabled via the 
built-in Setup program.  HOWEVER, the password can be permanently disabled 
by removing a jumper on the motherboard.  If you keep the case locked, there 
is no chance a student can enable a password.  If the system is later moved 
to a location where a password is desired, just re-install the jumper.

Dell's prices are competitive with Everex's.  Dell can be reached at (800) 
426-5150.  As an employee, I will also state that Dell will try quite hard to 
tailor a product to your needs.  It isn't a fluke that Dell is #1 in customer 
satisfaction (recent J.D. Powers survey).
