Being able to Kensington lock the machine so that it can't be opened  
(thinking of Dells), you can prevent physical access to a large  
degree (only have to worry about people that can screw up the lock),  
and prevent people from taking the drive OR resetting the CMOS  
jumper, giving people access to the BIOS without a password (one  
thing that many people haven't mentioned about security so far).
