An interesting way ive seen tampering being prevented (although somewhat extreme) was in mp3 (licensed mp3s) jukebox's. Although running windows, if the cases werent opened right the hdd would fry out. Preventing 20 gigs of licensed material from theft Now if you really cared, i guess you could hook it up to your ram =) The worst theft though, is mouse balls. Working in a public library, we go through alot of these. Infact we ordering in bags of them to keep up! Ideally we could use optical mice but i have seen any at a decent price, and they would have to be padless (eg. intelimice) or the pads would surely go missing.....
