    Takes me back holy shit. Haven’t done that in years. It’s how I always turned on my HP desktop. The button lit up with a blue LED and it was glorious.

    My toe was for the AVR and UPS. People who grew up in countries with unstable/unreliable electricity can relate. The family desktop computer was basically: power socket > AVR > UPS > computer, with the first two on the floor (therefore using feet to turn them on), and the system unit on the desk right beside the CRT monitor.

      Your UPS didn’t also clean your voltage?

        It did, but we already had an AVR long before the time small UPS units for home use became affordable enough, so we just added it in there in a series.

      Lotta towers have the button on top now, for airflow purposes I assume.

      I am old enough to know what that is, to have seen several of them in person, to have pressed several of them myself out of curiosity, but apparently too young to ever have seen any effect at all. What did the “turbo” do?

        It actually clocked the processor down rather than speeding things up.

        In the early days of PCs games usually just ran as fast as the processor ran. As the processors got faster, games started to run too quickly to play. The turbo button slowed down the processor speed so you could still play those older games.

        Now games use the clock to determine how quickly things happen, not the speed of the processor, so we don’t have that problem.
