If you're just a home hobbyist, you probably
don't need to be ultra-paranoid about
security. However, in a company environment, you
need to make sure that a dishonest or disgruntled
employee can't gain physical access to the floppy
and cdrom drives. Rather than use a standard PC
case, your server should be a rack-mounted unit
bolted inside a metal cabinet that can be locked
with a key or combination lock (or both). It's
easy enough to buy these units (I see ads in the
computer magazines all the time).
