You just go out and get the switch you want. Then you take the current button wires coming off your motherboard and wire it to the switch you just bought. I might be mistaken, but I think that should work. If it doesn't, the wires might be backwards, so try switching them around. If it still doesn't work, I got no idea. Hope it works!

Just ordered my key-switch from
http://www.maplin.co.uk and will let you know how it goes.
I think it might be a bit difficult as I have a light round my start button but i think I will just remove it.
Im only adding a key-switch so no one can get on my PC
