I'm building a computer in a somewhat public place, and need a good way to physically secure it to its mountings. Anyone know of any currently available solutions to my problem? Any locks or cages with warrenties would be nice.

Thanks for your help, folks!
 
Get a big, heavy case. Bolt it to the table/desk, whatever it sits on. Make sure the case has locking sides. As far as keyboard/mouse, etc. I think you're stuck. Buy a ton of cheap ones, I guess ;)

What kind of public place are we talking about?
 
I think the location of where this public place is important to know. Is it a kiosk type of system? Is the user gonna sit or stand while using it? Is it in public view or in some dark corner of a room?
 
I would get a basic case with no frills, drill some holes in the bottom of it and then on the table. Run bolts through the table and into the holes under the case. Put the nut side inside the case, and then rig up a way to lock the case shut. Make sure you get a case with thick sides, maybe one of those Chieftec Dragon cases.
 
Thanks for your suggestions. We've got a locking room in a community center, and we plus the staff of the center have access to the room. I think the solution we're going with is a locking cabinet for the computer, and wireless keyboard and mouse that we can lock in a drawer or something. Monitor is going to be bolted to the desk, from what i've heard.

Further suggestions are welcome, but I'm not sure if my boss will go another way. My concern now is that someone will punch the lcd or something (karate school. go figure).

Thanks.

You could always go for a low profine enclosed rack and a rackmount case. You can get locking steel doors on racks. That would do nicely I imagine.

It would be the way to go if you are not too restricted by budget.
