Great PC casemod project: fill your tower-case with cement to make a box that's too heavy to steal! The guy implies that the machine ran after he did this, but I have a hard time beleiving that, given the ventilation issues with components that are embedded in a solid block of cement.
After having this computer in front of my house for approximately two months, it was finally stolen! It was recovered the next morning in a ditch, one block from my home. The cover plates of the two empty drive bays were missing. I assume the criminal knocked them out to allow a location to grip the case. The computer was still intact and the thief is probably sore and suffering from back problems, but be aware that this method of protection is not fool-proof.
(Thanks, Jeremy!)
