sun servers used to have actual physical keys that you needed to boot the server (i think) what a weird era

i just remembered that case also had a turbo button AND the little two-digit LED screen that showed the tens of megahertz your bitchin' hot rod of a 386 was running at my dad used that case long after that stopped being relevant but he hardwired it somehow so that it just stuck at 99 because he likes having a bunch of annoying meaningless LED's on everything
