Cool.  Thanks for the link.

I am also about to build a new computer desk here, and was planning
on making the computer fastened heavily to the table (is enclosed
except for ventilation).  At least this way a burgler would have to
work hard to get it, which they're not likely to do...

Just because i am paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.
