Those are awesome looking cases. I'm curious as to what the ecokeys do?

These are terrific! They are all AT cases? They look almost brand new. :D

It makes the PC go sleep. Like closing the panel on a laptop. A hardware hibernation button...

Here is a germen commercial featuring the ecokey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su7YV01Ebi4

That's a neat feature. Thanks

Ok, my turn.

Do you have both connected via KVM, or is it just for the picture? 😁

The 3 at left are AT cases, the far right is a ATX with PII system inside.

Some photos from Retrobright, panels at first photo treated without taking photos before.You can see at the plastic base of one tower the difference and at drives...

Yep, as long as the mainboard has a SMI header to connect the button.

Do you still have the motherboard that came with the case ?

Story time, which is about the AT system. It was our first new computer at home. A few years later we sold it to someone who was handy with computers, which became a very good acquaintance after that.
10 years after that we were cleaning his shed and the system came to light again and I could have it. The FIC VA-501 was replaced by a PCPartner board. I know it came with the VA-501 because there was a sticker at the bottom.
There are not much mainboards with a SMI header for this 'Green Switch'...

TL;DR: Yes, after some swapping. 😁
