Do they plan on cleaning the beer off of that motherboard before powering it up? If not, it may never work again.

Not to spoil anyones fun, but that socket doesn't look quite thick enough for actually opening a bottle. It'll bend and break, barely making a dent in the cap. Those heatsinks look like they just might do the job.

Damned amateurs. All you need is a piece of paper or anything with an edge which includes coins, tables, etc. But I'll be honest, I have an opener on my keychain. Never know when I might run across a bottle without a twist-off cap.
