Meh. It is a $4K machine, not $16K. And a million views on a YouTube video (which this one is approaching and sure to exceed) can get you up to $40K in ad revenue. Somehow I doubt think the possibility of screwing up when putting it back together is too scary to him.

1 million views on YouTube is closer to $3-$4k in Ad Revenue (If you are lucky)
