Put the machine in a locked cabinet (which should have enough
ventilation holes). The cabinet should be bolted to the floor or the
wall. How sturdy the cabinet needs to be depends on what kind of attack
it should withstand, and for how long...

Disable all unneeded services and accounts. Allow root login from the
console only. If you have physical access, disallow remote login
entirely. Use long random passwords. Keep on top of security
updates. Install intrusion detection systems.
