computer for dad

so... i've been wanting to try my hand at building a modern windows computer for my dad using either a mini-itx or nano-itx motherboard.

the problem right now is trying to come up with a small, inexpensive (looking) box to put it in. something that doesn't look like it's worth stealing. I've seen the teddy-bear pc's, the ET pc's, the gas can pc's... the problem is, i'd like it to also look ok for my dad to display. i considered a cigar box, but people steal those too. aluminum tins would be good, i suppose.

ideas? anyone?

for myself, i still want to build the soundwave or optimus prime pc. and I will. someday.
