Actually, IMHO, the only way to have a secure computer is not to have
one at all.  Any system, secreted away or not, is vulnerable if the
person that is attempting to get in to it is determined enough and has
enough time.  Then again, there is always the one computer that most of
us forget about but none of us can live without, the Brain.  However,
given the advancing rate of science that will not be that secure for
long! :-)
