I personally think the physical key idea is good.

Instead of cutting the case, put the key in a "drive blank" panel.

Put it between the power button and the motherboard. This of course would only keep the system from booting up, and would not keep it from being left on.

Putting a Win-L keylock on it is a "eh" solution, because a hard reset and them logging into another account gets around that every time. The kids all
