What I've seen in a few installations is plain old burgalar alarms with
wired contacts, purchasable from your local electronics component supplier.
They're cheap, loud and also pretty effective as a deterrant. For
integration, we hooked them up with diallers, or depending on the controller
system, we could use a serial connection and work it from there.

Recently, some manufacturers like dell have incorporated cover removal
detection into Desktop Management functionality..

If you're talking singular, and cheap'n cheerful, you may want to consider a
luggage alarm with pull-string. Attach the whole thing to the inside of the
case and fit the pull-lead to the lid or removeable portion.
