At first glance, this ruggedised steel box looks kinda lame, but because it bolts to furniture from the inside (using supplied mounting parts), it actually wouldn’t be a bad way to protect your 17-inch-or-smaller laptop in communal living situation.

For its $US80, the DormVault also comes with a combination lock, but — as that’s the weakest link in the rig — I’d probably invest in something a little more heavy duty. Neat idea, though, assuming you’re actually able to go about drilling holes in things.
