kingandyYesterday I tried to install my new motherboard.
Why do they tell you not to touch any part of the board, and then give you these little tiny screws that have to go right into the board next to sensitive components that your fat fingers can't help but brush against? And then you drop the screws and have to fumble around in the dark, whacking yet more sensitive components with the screwdriver in your other hand?
This is exactly why I knew I'd be better off buying a pre-built machine.

I was just too lazy to use it.
It was really, really annoying.
