That makes me curious:

1)  Do order PC's without CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW?

2)  How do you secure against USB devices?

3)  Are the PC's setup to have unusable floppy drives or without floppy
drives at all?

As you jack up the paranoia of the security concious, such devices are a
major concern. I'm curious about fending off USB; the others are more
easily done.
