I had a bunch of old Compaq Clients back in the day...That had a security setting in the BIOS, when activated it would make a loud click. It actually had a big electronic dead bolt that would keep someone from opening the case.

Now that's what you call old school computers.

You turned a key and you could slide the hard drive caddy completely out of the system. I'm sure this was so they could lock the hard drives up at the end of the day. They where IBM Windows 3.0 / 3.1 systems. Had the old card type Pentium processors and EDO memory in them...lol

I know of some establishments that still use the barrel key to lock backup drives into the drive bay of there servers.
