And to the casual observer, it's hidden unless you know to look there.
Say someone breaks in and tries to find the computer, if you have a thief who just wants to be in and out with as much as he can... He wont see the Mac because its in the dark at the back of that shelf unit thing. I suppose there's a chance they would see it, but it ain't likely if they just wanna be in and out.
Fair enough if you think it's paranoia.. And yes, I DO have Contents Insurance. However, while I can claim back the old Mac, I'll never get the data back.
