shoddily designed computer components

...Are most commonly found on mass marketed desktop pcs and always wedged or ductaped in a box in my bedroom. This includes metal hinges that are hotglued to lightweight plastic whose purpose is to keep the housing of my lcd laptop panel upright and stationary. Shoddily designed computer components (hereafter referred to as shod-cocs) seem to be heavily implemented by engineers who relish in using time delayed rapidly decaying materials. These engineers are also known as "assholes". A stable source for sod-cocs can be found with any hardware vendor that sells to my budget range and ALWAYS on digibook laptop casings.

Implementation: Generally the product will be relative easy to physically install and configure so implementation at the early stages is not a worry. Product will usually function as expected until about three days after the warranty expires. At this point, earlier planning of implementation will pay off, for example having a few boxes of 9mm ammo.

Disposal: Keep your warranty card for proper disposal! Since product will inevitably fail after the warraty expires - your boss won't care. When product fails and has been successfully ridden with small arms entry holes, use the same type of hotglue the seems to be the vendors apparent favorite and most used material to meld the product to a 50 lbs bag of sand. Next, coat this in AT LEAST two layers of ductape and proceed to hotglue warranty card to this apparatus. Next, write "RETURN TO SENDER" and drop it in the mail bin. Your vendor will take care of the rest.
