Keeping My PC Safe At LAN
Keeping My PC Safe At LAN
You're planning to join a large LAN gathering and the organizers suggest using a Kensington lock, but you're worried your current setup—like the NZXT S340—doesn't have one. Someone else has suggestions for securing your case safely?
You're asking if it's reasonable to have someone use your computer for three days to help you with a project.
It might be feasible to make a tiny opening at the base of your case for a short wire connection. Have you considered monitors and other accessories?
You’re worried about how the case will be handled during the opening process. If someone is removing parts individually, consider adding a wire lock with threading through the PCIE back plates or vent holes on the back panel. For cases where people are opening the entire unit, a locking ratchet strap could provide better security. The described strap options are available online and can be wrapped around the case to prevent easy access to the side panel. Its square design makes sliding difficult, and the larger feet add stability, making it less likely someone would attempt to bypass it.
The only spot where you'll discover a Kensington lock slot is on laptops. Desktops don't have it. I'd suggest altering the case design so it's unique—preventing anyone from accessing side panels and taking your parts. To secure the whole system, you could always keep the I/O slot openings as anchors to lock the PC in place.
