OK here goes:

"IT, it's good when it works"

What do you think?

Nice. I think I should drop the "it's". So it's just "IT, good when it works" - ITGWIW

I think you mean "IT's good when it works" (pronounced eye-tease)

How about "When IT's good it's very good, and when IT's bad it crashes." ;)

If it's an internet phrase, then you're breaking the number-one rule of internet phrasology, that being it's not allowed to be proper English.

A suggestion for revision might be something along the lines of:

IT, good when maek wurk.

Since the dawn of "teh interwebz", "LOLcat", "4chan", "The Uncyclopedia" and other cesspools of lackluster humor and redundant inside jokes that infest the majority of the internet's backwater society. It's sad, but that's how things go.

P.S. The Uncyclopedia may be the lone exception in the aforementioned list, because...well damn, that <span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> is funny.

I think "it" is probably a registered trademark of eBay now. Or at least they probably want it to be, being that they invented auctions and all.
