30 Times People Had Such Horrible Computers, They Just Had To Be Shamed On This Twitter Page
Interview
I think we have all had to work with strangely designed and uncomfortable PC’s at some point before. But some setups are in a league of their own. This Twitter account is devoted to sharing some of the weirdest computer setups people have created or endured. Some are inspiring custom jobs, others look like something MacGyver would put together.
To find out about the world of PC modification, we reached out to BHB Mods, a company that specializes in custom computers and equipment. We asked them what inspires people to design and build unusual computer setups. They were kind enough to talk about why enthusiasts might want personalized builds and why not to be scared of technology.
As you scroll through, dear Pandas, be sure to upvote your favorites and comment if you have a theory on how some of these creations even happened.

Yeah, totally no "Old World Blues" vibes here... I'd watch my heart, brain and spine if I'd live there

Remember when your mom used to say “Go play outside?” That’s not what she meant.

This is what I will picture from now on, whenever someone says they have a "sh!tty computer"

A clean machine, sparkling in the sunlight. A wet machine, sparking and flaming. Oh, the excitement! Mea culpa: I have been building systems for 45 years and I never thought of washing a motherboard. Didn't seem prudent.

That's starting to look like one of my power-distribution setups. Watch for flames.

Rational Prudent. Simple. Excellent! [My desk sported two laptops and two desktop systems, with one fan on the side, blowing over the whole batch.]

I saw an Emkay video on this narrated by Lexi, who works in the tech field. She confirmed that toothpaste is not an adequate substitute here.

I should have snapped images of the computer cave in our prior house, a nook of shelving and worktops filled with multiple PC-AT boxes, stacked; some CompuPro S-100 motherboards with various CPUs, housed in minicomputer cabinets; the HeathKit H8 and H89 systems; a network of Timex/Sinclain ZX-81s feeding small monitors; batches of keyboards, video monitors, and hard and floppy disk drives; and cables everywhere. Oh yeah, and the Roland and Moog music synthesizers, the jury-rigged sound system, and Zenith and Sony shortwave radios -- a real electro-maze. "Wire me up, Scotty." [That's a bent Star Trek reference.]
