Creating a Chassis Type Lookup Table In SCCM DB

Question

While running through reports containing the Chassis Type values (24 different integers) with a colleague, he pointed out that a simple table created in the SCCM DB (or at least on the same DB server, perhaps a different DB) would provide a simple lookup,
so instead SCCM reports would show the actual Chassis Type (listed below).
This would be extremely helpful to us with reports which are passed on to our customers.
Can someone give me/our DBA a rough idea of how to set this up so that we can post instructions so that other users can benefit from it?  It seems very odd that users have to go to these lengths!!
Thanks in advance

It's just as easy to add it into the select statement of the individual reports you use for chassis type.
SELECT     TOP 100 PERCENT 'Chassis Type' = enc.ChassisTypes0,
                      'Chassis Name' = CASE enc.ChassisTypes0
                       WHEN '1' THEN 'Other' WHEN '2' THEN 'Unkown'
                       WHEN '3' THEN 'Desktop' WHEN '4' THEN 'LowProfileDesktop'
                       WHEN '5' THEN 'Pizza Box' WHEN '6' THEN 'Mini-Tower'
                       WHEN '7' THEN 'Tower' WHEN '8' THEN 'Portable'
                       WHEN '9' THEN 'Laptop' WHEN '10' THEN 'Notebook'
                       WHEN '11' THEN 'Hand - Held' WHEN '12' THEN 'Docking Station'
                       WHEN '13' THEN 'ALL- IN -One' WHEN '14' THEN 'Sub Notebook'
                       WHEN '15' THEN 'Space Saving Chassis' WHEN '16' THEN 'Lunch Box'
                       WHEN '17' THEN 'Main System  Chassis' WHEN '18' THEN 'Expansion Chassis'
                       WHEN '19' THEN 'Sub Chassis' WHEN '20' THEN 'Bus Expansion Chassis'
                       WHEN '21' THEN 'Peripheral Chassis' WHEN '22' THEN 'Storage Chassis'
                       WHEN '23' THEN 'Rack Mounted Chassis' WHEN '24' THEN 'Sealed  CASE PC'
                       WHEN '25' THEN 'Tablet -PC'
