OK, I have a 16 month old that love computers. REALLY loves the buttons on the case that is. As mush as we tell him "No Touch", he is constantly turning off the system or ejecting the DVD drives... I have disabled the power button so it now asks for what to do when the power button is pushed but the DVD drives...

So, I am looking for a decent case that can be locked so the DVD drives are not accessible. If the power button can be locked, cool. So, say under $100 (shipped). Icrontic buyers... find me a case. :D :respect:

If you're ok with an mATX box, the NZXT Rogue has a lockable cover that covers everything (and is small enough to sit on the desk and possibly out of reach); a quick look at the Coolermaster site showed me this (http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?category_id=18&product_id=2700) case, which might not have a lock YET, but you can fix that... :D

You can't just move the computer to a higher level?

Actually, you may just want enclosure in which to insert your computer, something like this (http://www.pcsafe.co.uk/server-security-cages/).

It's more of a short-term deterrent than a long term fix. I think I have two cases... I need to look a few others... ;)

Here's a couple you might like.

I found these two, while not lockable, they do have doors and look sharp too.

Look closer. That Antec P182 Gun Metal Black case is lockable.
The keylock is under the headphone/mic inputs.
I like that case style too.

I love the stylish yet not too flashy gun metal black case. I might go with that one...
