Computer assembly Memes

That moment when your RAM sticks don't slide in with that satisfying click on the first attempt, and suddenly you're King Théoden preparing for the Battle of Helm's Deep. The ritual begins: wiggling the stick, checking alignment, blowing on the contacts like it's a 90s Nintendo cartridge, and finally using enough force that you're convinced you're about to snap your $200 memory in half. Every PC builder knows this special kind of anxiety—where a simple component installation transforms into an epic saga worthy of Middle-earth.

Next up: why your car won't start when the engine is sitting in your garage separate from the chassis. The irony of having $3000+ worth of high-end components—RTX 4070, AMD CPU, fancy SSD—all neatly packaged while wondering why your digital powerhouse refuses to boot. Have you tried, I don't know... assembling it first? Pro tip: Computer parts work significantly better when not imprisoned in cardboard and plastic. The magic happens when you free them from their retail chains and connect them together. Revolutionary, I know.
