Choosing a Computer Case
Case FeaturesMay 31, 1999
By David Risley
All cases have the power switch and the reset button. Power switches come in different designs, from the push button to the toggle switch.
Many cases have a turbo button. This button's job is outdated and the button is really pointless on modern machines. Many think that pressing this button puts the computer in some super-duper fast mode. In reality, the opposite is true. The button was designed to slow the system down so that it could run very old programs without being too fast. This feature is now outdated, because most software has speed detection built in.
Other cases have a keylock. Basically, this is a security feature that disables the keyboard so that the user cannot use the computer until unlocked. Nobody uses this much anymore.
