 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But just in case you run into people who do pull it apart, keep this in mind:

As an optional method of preventing someone from messing around with your
system, you might consider going with something low tech but effective. 
There is a product called "PC Fortress" which is simple a LOCKING box which
is big enough to fit the PC and the keyboard.  Is has a wide slot in the back
for cooling and cables.   If you need to use them, there are slots in the
top of the cabinet so you can bolt your monitor down to the cabinet.

Finally, the cabinet itself can be bolted down to a desk if you're
afraid someone will walk away with the whole thing.
