I wish, the new dell optiplexes are terrible, not only do they not have an actual psu switch, it takes like 20 seconds of holding the power button before they turn off and then you have to wait like 10 seconds before you can turn it on again, during which time it does a really good job of pretending to be on and flashing disk activity lights and things but it's actually just self testing and you have to wait for it to turn back off before you can actually turn it on again. Dell used to make such good quality computers but they are genuinely awful now

You can still yank the power chord out.

I was known to yank a power chord or two back in college...

has any OEM computer ever had a PSU switch? I thought those were only on aftermarket psus and user built machines. I've got a few Dell computers and none have a switch.
