Default Idiots shouldn't build PCs
So a while back I was trying to rebuild a PC, and I had an X1300 lying around. For the life of me I just couldn't get the darn thing into the PC. I thought the case was warped.

So I take the mounting bracket off it, and do me best to stuff it into the slot. I finally manage to get it in there and no video. So I'm thinking what the heck is wrong with this thing. I screw around with it for a few hours, forcefully shoving it into the motherboard's only PCI-E slot, then I finally get pissed off and toss the card to the middle of the room and give up on the project.

Today I decided to rebuild a different PC and came across that videocard. So once again I do my best to maneuver this oddly sized card into the PCI-E slot on the motherboard and I keep shoving and shoving and I just can't get it in because this case is deformed too.

Then I realize it's an AGP card. Yup. I'm retarded. Amazingly enough after all I put that thing through it works just fine.

Oh, and when I was removing an old A64 processor from another of my old PCs my dog ran up behind me, knocked over the HSF with the processor still firmly attached by the thermal paste, and half the pins got bent. My dog is lucky I didn't actually want that PC.
