What is the single most rachet solution in your build

I think "ghetto" would be a more appropriate word than "ratchet", where I come from ratchet is used to describe a "ratchet ass hoe" meaning like the opposite of a slut (in a bad way)

 

I don't really see what it has to do with PC hardware...

I use chewed gum to hold my CPU in it's socket while I pour milk over top to keep it cool.

Just overclock a bit more to enjoy a nice warm glass of milk before masturbating bed.

My case had no USB3 on the front panel so I zip-tied a USB3 extention on the top of my HAF912 (where the fan mash is)... The picture is floating somewhere on this forum already :P

 

Edit: I dug through old topics and I found the pic

i used twisty ties you can get at the grocery for cable ties/managment :D

 

I just "borrowed" 20 or so of them from the store. They're red though, so it's cool.

 

Even though I already have a bunch of twist ties.

Some black duct tape holding a cannibalized LED strip from an old fan onto a vertical part of the case so it points at the mobo. On my old mobo I had a couple twist ties holding a 80MM fan onto the chipset sink.
