Do people not still do this? People must still have towers, and they must have on buttons, right?

I've not built a tower in a good few years now so maybe I'm out of touch and they're all voice activated now or use DNA scanners from Gattaca idk xD

People learned that computer cases shouldn't go on the ground, unless you want them to be a dust magnet (especially if you have a case with intakes on the bottom for the GPU).

I have a tower but it's on my desk (and the button is on the top facing the ceiling) so using my foot to turn it in would be a slight issue lol
