    I used to work as an intern in a PC repair shop and we had a guy come in saying his new self build computer doesn’t work. Turns out he cut a huge part off the mainboard so it fits into the case.

      That’s significantly worse. Assembling a PC without knowing what a cooler is for is bad enough, but to actually cut pieces off complex electronic components, I don’t know what kind of state of mind you have to be in for that.

        The kind of state that would have me refund his money and tell him I’m baffled and can’t figure it out.
