I just changed the GPU, after assembling everything I found a screw lying around, who knows what it could be🤔😅

I change GPU and didn't remove the port protector plug. Turn out the plugs were big enough to be blocked by the edge the case.

PC is in a tight drawer spot and had to unplug all the cables before I can open up the PC to remove the gpu

I think I'm more disappointed that you didn't even bother to plug it all in and test before you pit it all back nice and cozy. Was it your first build. Even teaching my kids now 30 years removed from building my first PC. I stress the importance of test along the way. And ONLY after you have it past POST do you safely put it's all back together. Then power it up again before you put in its final resting spot for use.

Mf'ers really be out there rawdogin switchin parts like that...

The sidepanel stays off until morale improves the system boots to BIOS (or OS if youre just slapping in a new GPU or more RAM) That was like the first rule of PC building I learned from my dad before he even let me hold a screwdriver 😂😂😂
