Only if:

(a) you have something really serious to chain them to;
(b) you also prevent the case from being opened;
(c) you don't worry about thieves with battery-powered angle grinders
 (wonderful things, those!).

I have a couple of metal cases (as approved by the International
Society of Hernia Specialists and Osteopaths) which would slow someone
down - free for collection from Upton Park. (Also a bunch of 14"-15"
monitors, if anyone wants 'em...)

They're doing that a lot. That's because they make a lot of money on it.
When did you last see anyone actually paying any attention to a burglar
alarm?

You could go with my approach - the machine room has about 30 PCs in it,
of which some few might be worth more than a tenner...
