As an owner of GT440 and GT640 I highly approve this. Somehow the second one was a little bit off but I assume it’s because you have to equally tight them as if you’ll tight only one it means that the second one would be missplaced.

Every single one of my School Computers (about 20) used this PLUS an adapter (similar). And I had to unplug and plug them all while moving them (i hated computer science).

The tightened one could withstand the weight of a thousand suns and could not be unscrewed with conventional weapons

Why is everyone talking about these things in the past tense? I still use one on my work computer.

My favorite part is when you unscrew one and it brings the little stand-off comes off with it, so now you’ve got this cable that won’t go into the plug far enough to work on any of the other PCs in the room, plus you’ve got a VGA card floating around with 1 out of 2 fasteners on it.
I used to carry a little Craftsman ignition wrench in my bag that was just the right size for the little stand-off screws. It was adorable.

When I first started in IT as a field tech my boss used to screw these bastards in with all his might even though we were moving pcs non stop. Loved the guy but hated dragging around a flat head to get the fuckers off.
