You need to take a break from reading Slashdot. :-)  Rackmount 
hardware is not the same thing as desktop PCs, and even the 
cheapest colocation facility has the racks under 24/7 video 
survelliance.
I'm not suggesting that you keep the codes to your secret Swiss 
bank account on such a box, but it can be made a lot more secure 
than you suggest.
