Building a PC? The eyes have it

You just can't take'em for granted.
There is nothing on earth more exciting than trying to connect the headers on a motherboard to the case when your right eye has a moving gray spot right in the middle of what you're looking at and your left eye suddenly has a detached retina.
If you want to know what that looks like, take a piece of plastic wrap, smear some vaseline on it, trail some black ink over that, mix in a tad of red dye then hold it over your eye & try to look through it. It's kind of like being inside the back drop at an acid rock concert in the 60s. Y'know the ones that looked like cells dividing or a lava lamp gone crazy.
On top of that, your depth perception is completely fubar. It's taken me 45 minutes to do the audio, USB & front panel.
More often than not it sucks to be me. Growing old definitely sucks.
Since everyone's taking a nap here, I thought I'd share this with y'all.
