I've seen locks that prevent a person from opening the case it replaces a screw on the case.
If you want to protect your files on your computer, since there are alot of cases of identity theft, use NTFS file system, hopefully if you have win xp then it's already done for you. Create a password, don't create a hint, use windows 2000 pro login if you are using xp. Configure it so that you have to hit ctrl+alt+del to login. You can also compress the files you want to protect and create a password. These tips are all for XP.
When you buy things of the internet, with your credit card, make sure to clean up cache, go to-->tools on internet browser--> internet options-->delete cookies-->delete files-->delete history-->Go to content tab-->then autocomplete-->del forms and password.
Make sure you create a administrator account, otherwise if your computer is stolen it will be easy to remove data. You can also password protect the BIOS.
You could also bolt your computer down, or use those plastic tyes to secure your cables and so forth. As for your drives, you can buy a case that has a small door with a lock.
Hope this was helpful.
