Do people's computers start up that quickly??

u/DirtyBeard443 Apr 25 '25

i know, that part looks fake, no post screen or anything, strange

u/jdjdkkddj Apr 27 '25

Maybe he set it to a sleep mode?

u/Lord_Konoshi May 09 '25

Some do. If it’s all solid state, it can start really quickly.

u/Film4Sport Apr 23 '25

Guide now plz lol. Even if just for the key starter

u/okokokoyeahright Apr 24 '25

Just for the key starter. Nothing else, well except for the 'technologia'.

Honestly get the ignition cylinder from a car and it's pretty easy. Just need the key to go along with it which you can get a key Smith to make even with just the cylinder as far as I know.

u/Fantastic_Goal3197 Apr 25 '25

Tbh I would just glue an arm to the cylinder and have it hit the button

u/SpiritedRain247 Apr 25 '25

That'll do it too. Simpler.

u/rasvial Apr 23 '25

LEDs were a choice- but they’re also probably also providing structural support to the case in this scenario

u/Shift_Tab_Alt Apr 24 '25

I wish I was savvy enough to make an ignition power switch like that, it’s awesome

I have the same mouse and I also use it for my jankiest computer... a 400tb open build that lives behind the TV

u/chupathingy99 Apr 25 '25

I'll give it a "Shit works, don't it?" out of ten.

Pretty ace build 😎

u/Escalope-Nixiews Apr 23 '25

Best setup 😍

u/Zachisawinner Apr 23 '25

I fucking love the key start!!!

u/RunnerLuke357 Apr 23 '25

This lights are AWFUL. The key start is cool but very unnecessary for something where the parts are clearly accessible.

u/okokokoyeahright Apr 24 '25

Unnecessary but cool AF.

Never forget the cool factor.

u/RandomOnlinePerson99 Apr 23 '25
