It's smart to opt for an old, decently worn-down Dell case. Grab an ITX machine and try to keep the case hidden as much as possible. Check out that link for the top pick—it's the absolute maximum you'd likely spend. Honestly, you're better off with a laptop and staying close to it.
I've never been in a dorm room before, but I've had roommates who would take things when they left. They always disappeared when I wasn't around. Sometimes they stole things like video games, dishes, or DVD players, and even some of my guns. The worst was when someone took off the firing pins from my high-end weapons in my closet. When I caught up with them and used a .44 magnum on their head, it quickly got everything back to me.
I'm heading to a great university, but it's located in a pretty rough neighborhood. Security is extremely tight—everything is monitored 24/7. The dorms are staffed around the clock, with cameras installed everywhere. Each room requires a keycard, and only about 300 students live there. No matter what happens, if you're caught on camera, they'll get you back. It really depends on how the dorms handle things. If I were in a frat house, I wouldn't leave it like that.
If a person takes a weapon and uses it, you might also be responsible for allowing them to keep it. This is especially true in the United States. I just want to make sure you understand—please be aware of this. Hopefully, such scenarios never happen in a dorm environment.
I arrived when he was exiting my house, which helped me locate him within five minutes of him leaving my driveway. I had known him for roughly three years, so I understood his usual destinations and could find him in about thirty minutes. If I hadn’t found him, I would have reported the theft, and in Florida that would have protected me from liability. The weapons he took were meant for personal display, not for use, so the ammunition wasn’t stored at home—it stayed in my safe at the office. At my residence there were only three guns with ammo, two locked in a safe under my bed and one always carried. When I slept, it was tucked under my pillow. My walk-in closet was spacious, and I displayed all my firearms on the wall. My bedroom had a padlock that he modified to gain entry, which also raised the possibility of breaking and entering charges since it was a secured space. In Florida, breaking into someone’s locked room without permission is considered breaking and entering, even if the intruder lived there.
