Default XBox 360 HDD

Is there anyway to secure the HDD to a 360 so it cannot be removed? Other than using glue/epoxy?

I can't do that, it can still be removed. See I run a gaming room and a few of the XBox's HDD's were stolen. I want to have the consoles equipped with the HDD but I need a way to secure them without tape or glue if possible.

Find a way to strap them down to like a desk or entertainment center.

do what gamestop does and put them in a clear case with a lock on it so nobody can actually touch it. Obviously you would have to have a hole for the dvd drive but you could rig something up that works with that concept. That's my advice

I was going to advise that but the problem with that is ventilation, which the older 360's desperately need.

There's some decent ideas here, was mainly wondering if there was a popular solution on the web I didn't know about. The way it works here is that folk check out and sign for the 360, then return it and name is deleted. However ATM the HDD doesn't come with it because the consoles return with the HDD missing. So, a hasp and lock is about the best so far, but these clever folks here can use their gerber/leatherman and unscrew it off. I'd have to rivet it on....hmm maybe there's the answer! Thanks to all for the advice, if there's anything new let me know please
