Mystery buttons on PC

[Eichhörnchen]

Still need some ideas with this:

I'm wondering whether one of the buttons switches you between DVI and VGA output?

Left:
top - PC Reset button
bottom - Turn LED light on/off

Right:
top - Hard Disk light (flashes when the drive is working)
bottom - I would suspect that's indeed to indicate the PC has power.



As for VGA and DVI all you'll have to do is plug in the right cable in the right port on the back of the graphics card and the card should detect it automatically.

Are these really buttons?
The LED with the cylinder icon surely indicates Harddisk action. So when the HD has to work to load or save something, this light should blink.
Why should there be a button to shut the LED off?
The "go around" button probably causes a barrel roll?

A real photo would be great

What is the model number of that Cooler Master bad boy? Their different towers have varying light/button setups.

If you click the attached pic you will see the LED and Buttons on a Cooler Master case hope this helps

I'm going to post a photo soon, meanwhile...

@ RR, there's no data label anywhere on the casing (first thing I thought of, too) so I haven't been able to search for or ask about this particular machine.

@ DragonRider, thanks for that; the buttons are indeed present in your pic, second from the left and the last one (the two little led's and their symbols are shown in your photo as well).

The big one in the middle well, even an idiot like me could guess what that was for

Okay, that puppy is a Cooler Master Centurion 5 II mid-tower case. Your buttons from right to left are power button (the large one), reset button and front fan on/off for your blue LED 120mm front fan.



And that's a mystery. Why would you NOT want your front fan to be on all the time? Or why would you not use a 3-wire fan and let the motherboard control the throttle according to component temps?
