i use a usb key connected to a 1 inch cable. once the usb is removed an alarm goes off and my private army shoots them unless they disable the alarm.

the locks on laptops are actually kensington the little holes, 99% of laptops have them, my super old ibm has on, my compaq has one, my brand new hp (today) has one, my toshiba has one, dads hp, dell both have them, his gfs dell has one. ive never seen a laptop without that little lock hole. now personally i have a kensington that i knew the code but somehow it got messed up so i just cut it with my leatherman, only took maybe 30 seconds (it was harder than it though)

BIOS LOCK 32 numbers on it

Also, the Lojack idea works well.

The Kensington locks are expensive too.

[smlcoop]

I use a physical lock which deters would-be bad guys. The Kensington locks are terrible, partly because they don't provide much attachment; partly because they are so hard to engage in the little slot that most people just stop using them.  I use one that has a glue-on fastener and snaps into the larger, more durable receptacle. It is easy and works. There are a few versions called "Snap-Its".

WARNING: Lojack, allegedly, might compromise the security of your laptop. Some technicians speculate that it's possible for someone to take control of your laptop if you have LJ installed in your BIOS boot firmware. Relevant keywords for search engine action: 'Core Security Absolute Computrace security hole'. The information - however credible - is there for the taking.

Anybody hear of PC Guardian's Computer defense kit? looks pretty legit...

[DvoracKode]

Thanks for the tips and all. A question though: what size are your monitors? They're almost as big as you are. Lol.

2 30" Dells connected to a Mac Pro. Dell is a sponsor.

Kensington locks, nowadays, are so easy to compromise. $50 bucks for nothing, wow. I'd rather go with Lo/Jack, get the motherf**ker to believe he gets away with it and throw him a nice sense of surprise in the end :)

[romeoneverdies]

most laptops have the latch (old computers might not have it) i have security lock ...

[AJenbo]
