Hmm. Learn something new everyday. Good initial point though. Pre-builts can at times make you think you've got head lice with what's going on inside that case. Loose connections or backwards fans seemed to be their bread and butter. Guess the force is still strong with "hold my beer".

My favorite WTF will always be HDD stacking.  I forget the model but they had 4 HDDs stacked up inside a metal frame.  You literally had to remove all of the above HDDs to get to any below it.  And the cable management required full disconnect of all SATA data and power cables to get to any drive.

LoL. An enclosed metal frame. I'm sure the cooling solution was totally acceptable as well... What could go wrong here?... They must have had auto engineers design it. Empty the engine bay just to get to the starter, because why not?
