No pics but I once fixed a printer with a screw anchor.

I remember having a GTX 880 in an ATX flex.
It was twice longer than the motherboard, and I was afraid it might snap.
So I used a thin cotton rope to suspend it from the case.

One pin for mounting broke back in 2009 I believe

the polymers in the band will decay after a while and your setup will be rendered useless

you could just put some folder papers atop of the hdd and the pressure from the backlid will keep it in place

Broke a pin on an old AMD CPU. I managed to resolder it on and put it in and it worked flawlessly. Some years later when I removed it the pin was missing (must've fell into the socket) but it still worked. I decided to put it into another motherboard and it still worked. Apparently that pin wasn't very important.

The cruising company demands their bow thrusters back, user.

Half the pins are power pins. Sometimes you get lucky and break a completely unimportant pin.

Wouldn't fit on otherwise lol

whats going on in here?

Wood peg holding a PCB in place in a CRT, wonder that never burned down my house.

propped my gpu with an old stick of ram. god bless the atx standard, designed for desktops with vertical add in cards, and now having to cope with video cards weighing a ton with only three points of support, one being the slot itself. Countless machines that didn't work correctly/had weird artefacts just because of gpu sag

Server room in the basement got flooded in heavy rain. Servers were totally fucked but we had to make sure the client could still make phone calls. Water still coming through walls and floor. So we took the cage apart and mounted the remains of the rack to the wall.
