By using only old and cheap-looking hardware. T420, 4:3 analog monitor I got from my university for free, 10 year old worn as fuck keyboard. Same with my car (beat to shit ´92 Corolla) and bike (´97 CB 500). I also live in a first world country. There's apparently a couple of meth heads in this area but I could still leave the car unlocked overnight with the trunk half-open when I bought a couch and not have it stolen.
its a stick shift so its harder to steal
We have gypsies in here and the city council is too far left do do something about it. I can't believe nobody tries to protect their possessions.
It's a part of the desk. In order to get to the computer they would have to cut the bikelock or destroy entire desk with everything on it.
Put one of these mo-fos in your case. Nobody would touch it.
what is that
No gypsies either. Feels good man. My shit just doesn´t look worth stealing because it isn´t. Frugal lifestyle is best lifestyle.
Snapping off that part wouldn´t be terribly difficult unless it´s bolted on with heavy-duty metal angles, and I highly doubt a burglar would be concerned with keeping your furniture intact in any case.
Retard, 90's hondas and toyotas are among the most stolen cars, because they are abundant and blend in so well.

Maybe if you live in Poland or Russia. It´s almost the 2020s, most 90s cars have completely disappeared from the roads. It´s a pain just trying to find a ´00 or later Celica that isn´t rusted or beat as fuck. Everywhere you look here it´s cars from 2010, maybe with the odd ´05 car in between. They´re all Peugeots, Hyundais and Fords.
Hey wow they invented a device that can read 3D printed save icons? It really is the future!
xD
This would discourage anyone from stealing your rig. Just put the shit inside the case. ;)
I have a gun.
You don't?
sweet summer child
Puttibg aside the fact that anyone could take that pc by lifting the desk, do you really think the kind of thief that breaks into homes will not have some tools with him? Wire cutters are like the bare minimum for a thief who steals to make money.
>hurr durr i has gunz i is safe lulz
You either live in a rural buttfuck where nothing ever happens, or you live in California with a painted nerf gun.
who the fuck steals tower computers
omg i think i used to have that case. its not atx tho so...
TEN FUCKING CAPTCHAS FUCK THIS SHIT
The desk is large and that piece of wood is connected to the rest both on top and bottom. You think a wirecutter can go tgrough a bikelock like this?
I wish more pc cases had kensington lock slots
(I mean standalone cases, I know lots of prebuilt workstations have them, i.e. dell)
If anything you’re just drawing attention to a computer by putting a lock on it. Assuming it’s not fixed with g4m3r faggotry burglars today are likely to ignore a desktop pc.
I was thinking of maybe putting one of these on my case. My monitor already has a kensington slot, and I could install one of those desk anchors with one-way screws
Also replacing the case thumbscrews with weird-headed security ones
Not an argument.
I protect mine with my virginity.
Use a super old, shitty case.

Use a real keyboard input, nigger
Live in Asia where there are no niggers
I close my front door
Sorry, I use a US international kb layout. In GNU/Linux I just press RAlt+Ä (oh yeah, the buttons have German labels) and I get ' but at work I am forced to use Windows, which gives me ´. I'd have to press Ä for a regular apostrophe every time, which is a hassle.
Same with quotes, btw.
what animu?
I hope you find a better way
i put bricks in my case
Rig your 1000w psu every night.
This but unironically
why would anyone steal it?
honestly niggers dont actually steal computers in the house unless its a mac or any applel product. they will steal tvs and some light stuff bc theyre there to just get in and then get out as fast as possible
> thread about theft
> immediately assumes racism
> complains about racism
ok...
don't live in US or Canada
or just around niggers
problem solved
I dont live under the bridge
get a full atx of full steel, and just stack shit on top and to the sides, make sure cause has no handles to make it easy to lift and your golden.
all my tech things are so old that no one would steal them
A Kensington lock. I got a bunch of them free from work when they were throwing them out, so I took a few. I also have one looped through the lining of my backpack for my laptop.
Sounds nice.
bump
Do thieves actually know what a desktop is? I think you're only at risk if you own a laptop. Like, a TV they understand, maybe they'll grab your monitor, but bear in mind these are A. Poor people, B. Black people, C. Criminals. Meeting any one of these criteria make them essentially wild animals, and animals tend to just steal shit like food, because they know what that is.
This is like that commercial I remember from I think within the past few years where the couple had a bunch of things stolen but their computer was so old it was just sitting there on the floor. Anyone else remember this ad ?
Don't mind me OP
My machine weights 14.00 kg (30.86 lb)
Doesn't always work. Nigs will travel far and wide and hop to different towns to steal shit.

America really is a third world shithole. Those planes should have been packed with nukes.
what a faggot
fucking black mother fucker
>Implying anyone wants to steal your cum stained case filled with faggot porn.
Build a sleeper. Nobody wants to jack what looks like a 90s PC and Tyrone isn't going to risk his life carrying an 80 pound CRT down the stairs like his father used to.
biege case + model m + trinitron

Physically? Not much, data-wise? Full disk + home folder encryption.

nice bait
Hand grenade trap
Moved out of the ghetto
Get a bigass cube case like a TT Core X9
i just put a picture of me above it
implying niggers are confined to only one race.
i just drilled 2 holes on the back corner of my case and put a bike lock around it and my desk.
It's in a safe with plugs on the inside to outside that require special adapters.
Make sure you get AMD, no one will steal that shit.
Why would I wrap chains around my computer which is sitting in a desk in my bedroom in my house?
I can just lock my doors instead so no one gets inside my fucking house.
>can't lift 14kg under one arm
fucksakes, I don't even lift and I can do that...
Kensington lock on a desktop PC is literally stupidity.
They're ridiculously easy to break - what makes them effective on laptops though is ripping it out causes permanent damage to the laptop, dissuading theft.
Haveing a kensington lock on a desktop case wouldn't the computer, therefore there is no dissuasion for theft outside needing a slightly longer time to grab and go.
>Touch case
>3rd degree burn
Your hardware is safe
electrify the case
Do you guys all live in crime ridden ghettos or something? I live in a lower middle class suburb and I'm not worried about anyone breaking into my house lol.
geez summerfags already, it was just winter!
Tell Jamal to get a job.
I build it in a Fractal XL R2

Okay, here's what I would do as a smart, non-negroidal thief
>Find a coin
>Look for the the screw lock above that wood panel
>Every ready to assemble desk is made with these. They are usually covered with a little plastic nub, if at all
>Turn 90 degrees
>Lift top panel
>Slide chain off
Alternatively, if I'm even smarter that day
>Open the case
>take the ram, GPU and SSD
The PC probably has a password lock anyway.
It's amazing how you don't care about the windows. Half the time they aren't even locked and you can just slip right in after cutting the flyscreen. It's easy enough to break them, too.
Every other summer I thought it was just placebo but this time I can really feel it.
>the PC probably has a password lock anyways
...you can reinstall unless you're referring to a BIOS password.
Not worth the risk. PC's can be tracked online because of the CPU and motherboard. So far as I know, there's no method for tracking an SSD, RAM or GPU.
>PC's can be tracked online because of the CPU or motherboard
How?
I rig it to C4 in case the the FBI come crashing in. If a nigger comes in, well lol, oh well.
>not making stealthy a pipe bomb out of one half of the AIO's radiator that goes off when the built in gps tracker leaves a given location
plebs

>assuming op is a racist for talking about theft
Arent you a bit racist then?
I purposely got a shitty old PC case from a Compaq to make it look poor. Plus side is since it's so small it also makes it light weight perfect for travel for LAN parties and such.
theft happens literally everywhere
even your shitty country, you inferiority-complex-ridden basedboy
lol locks literally only keep out nobody
I put my laptop in a backpack in the wardrobe, its worked so far. This might be helpful too like a force field to repel.
Through the magic of Intel managment engine.
Times have changed since 2012. We now get influx of summerfigs since the trum/pol/ invasion
