There must be a whole world out there of amateurs who slap together
expensive pimp-PCs based on rumors and fads and bogus products, people
who haven't a clue about how computers actually work.

Sort of like high-end audio.

Yet ha cannot even do it after four other "iterations" of his method of
destroying computers.

I know of pre-teen kids that can assemble working PCs. He likely can
as well. The problem is him keeping his hands off it after it gets built,
AND needing to OBSERVE it IN OPERATION, until one is quite sure that it
is running clean.

He likely jarred the Vid card and cracked the three year old, dried out
heat sink compound, OR he was in there toying with something and got his
GPU fan FOBed.
