You know how electric cars sometimes play engine noises through the speakers. This needs to make hard drive noises, clicking sounds and fans going nuts randomly.

Kinda wish it had a turbo button, even if it does nothing.

Or even better a Turbo button that did something; maybe automatically put all fans to 100%.

But yeah, a Turbo button (working or not) would be a great fit for this concept.

I recently watched a video about a new PC designed to run Windows 98 with DOS for paying old games. It has a built-in SoundBlaster card, (highly) variable CPU clock speed, and lots of modern things like USB PS2 emulation.

It also has a small speaker to simulate hard dive clicks when accessing the micro SD card.
