    I’ve had a dangling SSD in my machine for years now, no issues. It’s one of those things you do when on a budget and things don’t work out fully as expected.

    I also still habe optical drives in my machine, one of which is only in there because I no longer have the cover for the drive slot. The drive itself is disconnected and dead.

      After my last build I had to rewire the case for some reason, which was a pain in the ass. Somehow, after the rewire, the “reset” button became the “on” button, and the “on” button does nothing but light up when the computer is on. I’ve been saying, “Meh, good enough” for seven years now.

      TFW you’re too poor to buy double-sided tape.
