Punk kid down the street built it. He put the COA on the side of the monitor.

It is.

And only reason putting it on monitor is bad is that it'll either fade from the heat, or if they sell the monitor they will loose the COA? I have no idea

on the upside if they upgrade their computer keeping their monitor, they'll be good to go.

My monitor and case outlast everything else in my computer by several iterations.

In the past 10 years I've had 3 monitors and 3 cases that have run with oh, 10 motherboard/cpu/video card combos.

Too true.
There are quite a few times when I wished I had just told people, I have no idea what is wrong, they make computers with color screens now ?

Damn annoying when they make you their own personal tech support.
