They cant get in trouble for selling a *case*.  If the USER buys a motherboard
and puts it in... its not Frys' problem.

Kinda like how Apple used to *not* sell the RF modulator for the Apple II - 
but hey, the *DEALER* will sell you one!  If the user causes the RF problems,
its not the manufacturer's fault... *grin*
