Shyambits: pronounced "shEMbits." A noun meaning dead computers from which workable bits may still be harvested to put together a better, faster computer.
"Look at that heap of Shyambits! I'll pull a hard drive from this wreck, a CD burner from that one and a zip drive from that virus-riddled Dell over there. We'll stick it together with the monitor you found in Jarvis and Syham together a super computer!"
