He specified workstation, but to answer your question I have a locking 
server case to prevent unauthorized access.  In addition we're installing 
cypherlocks on the server room door (can't afford a smartcard system right 
now)  However, it would be pretty easy to remove the cd-rom and floppy from 
the server once it is initially set up, and just do everything over the 
network.

   Of course then you have the situation where you're hanging upside down 
in the dark trying to install a floppy drive while the sprinklers are going 
and the power strips are shorting out so that you can use your ten year old 
copy of emacs to try and repair the files that got corrupted by the bosses 
son pushing his cookies through the fan grills and starting an electrical 
fire, but I consider that an acceptable trade off.
