Most decent server cases have such features as a locking front panel and side panel, however if someone wanted in bad enough the locks would do very little to stop them and of course there would be signs of forced entry as well.

Ya, a password would have helped some, but at the time, things weren't set up that way. Beside, I hate to pass up a good opertunity for a new toy that can serve a couple of functions like security and dual boot

Edit: Dooh!! Didn't see lil Jimmie's post on the next page! /slaps forhead

Ya, the removeable HD approach is great for security!

My friend got ahead of me, she is getting a XP machine this week.

Any advice about XP for her? Seems like there were a few items that most people altered right away.

Er... should I wait a couple of months until MS includes the various virus fixes?
