Pff. I'll be fine. I have a Hercules graphics card.

I can still play games, right?

Kind of wish USB has securing screws sometimes ..the amount of times I've accidentally caught a cable and yanked one out (oo-er)

Depends on the device I imagine. Way back in the olden days I remember pulling my NES along with a handful of games down from the tv stand because I caught a controller walking by. When Xbox introduced the break away cords it was a Godsend in our clumsy house.

When I worked IT for a call center I had to deal with so many of these that I ended up only screwing one side. Still held firmly in place, less work.
