The standard notched cylinder type used for many 286 to 486 clones? I used to have a drawer full of them in the late 90s but those days are gone... I suppose I could use an old fuel door key connected to a lever switch if I have to, but I'd like to refrain from drilling into the aged AT case.

I got mine from buying a cheap 5.25" removable HDD bay.

Maplin sell them in the UK; http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/05a-spst-miniature- … ound-type-cj92a
So I imagine their equivalent wherever you are might sell them also. And eBay.
Does this lock the case or the keyboard?
Generally, it connects to two pins on the motherboard and locks out the keyboard.
Presumably it is only useful in an environment where taking the case off and unplugging the lock would be too conspicuous.
That's what I figured, but I'm wondering about his specific situation. Because he could just unplug the wire and not care if the lock was on or off.
Wicked, thanks guys - Its a bit tricky to put the right words into eBay - Key lock or similar brings up thousands of pages selling individual keys for keyboards, not key locks.
