I mean, your PC's power switch is just closing a connection between two wires. I'm sure that someone makes a key lock switch that can do that.

Apparently the term is "key switch" rather than "key lock switch".

Though the first entry for sale on Amazon calls it a "key lock switch", so YMMV.
If you're looking to add a key switch, make sure you get one that functions as a momentary switch and not one that locks into the ON position unless you want your PC to turn off right after booting
