And spend 20 min on every GPU? Why are we even talking about this?!
I think you are looking for problems. Whatever gets the job done is fine, in this case duct tape is OK if there isn't any zip ties around. I also don't see a problem in spending
20 more like 5 minutes on cleaning a graphics card that will be sold for $100-200.
I think he is more on the lines of thinking in terms of
preventing future hassle/problems. The duct tape thing was probably a joke. But in the sense of this convo, yes it obviously makes more sense to take 5 extra minutes to shoot down the right isle at the store and grab a bunch of zip ties, than take hours cleaning a boatload of video cards down the road.
