Ah, the well-constrained question.

Lock the room it's in, you keep the only key. Make sure it's not a
drop ceiling. Never connect it to any network or the internet.

To get better advice, you'll need to fill in some details as to what
you're concerned about protecting, what OS it's running, the
environment the machine is used in (physical and network), what its
used for, and how many users have to access it....

The FAQ is good but IMHO is far too light on boring but important stuff
like physical security.
