"Intrusion detection" is the key here. Add an acceleration sensor to your case, and make sure to set the thresholds so that any small case movement causes the system to erase its memory and shut down. Optimally screw the case to the wall so that you have to open it to move it, anyway, and no accidental kick with your foot will trigger the sensor. And remember to put trip wires around your door - as typical geek, you are supposed to be lonely (you know all your friends only by their IRC nicks, and all women you know have the jpeg surname ;-), so the likelyhood that someone else trips over your trip wires is extremely small ;-).
