I used to work as an intern in a PC repair shop and we had a guy come in saying his new self build computer doesn’t work. Turns out he cut a huge part off the mainboard so it fits into the case.
That’s significantly worse. Assembling a PC without knowing what a cooler is for is bad enough, but to actually cut pieces off complex electronic components, I don’t know what kind of state of mind you have to be in for that.

My Frankenstein in an ikea drawer probably works better than that customers Frankenstein and mine doesn’t even have all needed power supplied

The kind of state that would have me refund his money and tell him I’m baffled and can’t figure it out.
Probably crazy enough to demand that the PC repair shop has to bear all the costs he caused by his genius idea.
“but I didn’t need those extra PCIE slots!”
It works/worked on some GPUs though.
Probably only very specific ones in very specific areas
