Utter tangent:
Has anyone ever made a PC that ... has to be pull started like an older ICE lawn mower?
EDIT: I've jerry rigged together spare PC parts into a make shift media center pc... that used the box my roomate's Xbox 360 came in as a 'case'... you had to actually jump the right two pins on the mobo to start it, rofl.
...we used a paper clip that had a bit of colored rubber or epoxy coating of some kind, wire stripper stripped that off of the last inch or so.
But a lawnmower start pc ... that would be even funnier.
You could just make or buy the pull mechanism and hook it up to a speaker.

It's not pull start but it is gas powered.
... Wow.
So many problems with that design, but it does work.
Amazing, thank you for that link.
