Things can go a few certain ways, but there's only one right way.
Oh, really?

• Uh, where's the processor die gone? Found it!
  
• Another fine example of distributed processing.
  
• If you buy a tube of (electrically conductive) Arctic Silver, be sure to use it all. At the very least, make sure the resistors around the CPU are shorted. Alternatively, spread it all around the CPU carrier, but make sure not a single drop touches the delicate CPU die.
  
• No, I never overclocked that PC! Really!
  
• To ensure optimal CPU cooling, use no less than two different types of conductive paste in addition to the supplied thermal pad.
  
• The manufacturers include the little lever on the CPU socket for esthetic purposes only - you can install the processor just fine without using it.
  
• Before installing a harddisk, be sure to throw it to the floor from at least 5 ft. in order to check if it can withstand the hardship of daily use in the system. When you insert the connectors, use lots of force and preferably a ballpeen hammer.
  
• Always misplacing the product key of your precious original software? No problem, just write it on the CD/DVD with a sharpie pen... (is anyone surprised that this is a Microsoft Works DVD and not a FreeBSD CD?)
  
• Last but not least, overclocking the graphics card requires unconventional cooling soloutions.
  
  (D.A.U is short for "Duemmster Anzunehmender User" - dumbest hypothetical user. By the way, their D.A.U. of the month galleries are also something to behold.)

Just give it to one of the guys who owned the equipment depicted in these galleries!

D.A.U ("duemmster anzunehmender User") can be roughly translated as "dumbest hypothetical user". Here is one of my favorites, the D.A.U. of the month for May 2003.

If you speak some German, reading the sarcastic comments is as much fun as looking at the pictures of fried equipment.
