Likewise, back when I built my first big pants real PC out of actual new components and not just hand-me-down bullshit cannibalized from decommissioned office stuff, I put the plethora of stickers that came with everything on the little rear triangle windows on my car. As if they were riceboy components instead, which in a way I suppose they were. Many of them were those textured stamped aluminum ones and they survived for quite a long time.

Surely at least one confused tuner saw this and puzzled over what the hell G.Skill and MSI “car parts” were supposed to do.

Here’s another sign of the times: Out of all the parts for my current rig, only two of them came with stickers. What a rip-off. My processor came with an AMD sticker (just a cheap vinyl one this time) and my motherboard came with an Aorus sticker which is at least textured metal. I stuck both of them to the inside of the front door on my case.
