Re: [PLUG] immutable laws of physics

I've found a perverse joy over the years in doing successful "idiot builds" of various computers, desktops and servers both. Your component selection game and system assembly game must both be on pro level, but I built my entire media center setup with performing a single test of any component or connection, and I haven't had any panel or access port open since. I've heard auto mechanics call it a "hood weld" and they're even less common in that field.

The likelihood of a repair or modification working is directly dependent on whether you've reassembled everything without testing it first and inversely proportional to the difficulty of disassembling everything in the first place.

Corollary #1: If it is REALLY difficult to remove and replace, you will break something else just as you get it back together after fixing the first thing.

This really became clear to me working on servers (especially rack-mounted), cars (especially Hondas) and small electronics. But it seems like it should apply to just about anything that is a pain to get at or disassemble.
