Where is the CUDA button on all of the PCC main logic boards? Which case screws do I remove to get to it?

The PowerGuide MLB 1.0.1 application is a great resource for finding the Cuda button. However, the models below have the case thumbscrews on the back of the case as indicated. Once the thumbscrews have been removed slide either the entire case or the side panel on the PTP toward the back to remove. The Cuda button, MLB and Apple-based design are also as indicated in the table:

Case Design          Case Screw Location On Back of Computer
-----------          ---------------------------------------
Low Profile          3 screws: two outside edges, top center edge
Desktop              1 screw: top center
Mini Tower (MT)      1 screw: top center; 2 pressure clips along bottom outside edges
Mini Tower (NT)      4 screws: on outside edges
Power Tower Pro      2 screws on side with handle
