Do you have a least favorite computer part?

My crappy 15 inch Alton Monitor
God I wish I could afford a new one...

My DEAD GA-5AX motherboard with DEAD ALI chipset! :mad:

My dual Xeon mainboard for not supporting AGP 4X or ATA66, I guess I can live with that since this board was made before those technologies were released. Thats about as bad as it gets for me :D

As opposed to a dead motherboard with a working ALI chipset? :D :D :D

Yamaha CD burners...especially FireWire 8x ones such as the one that's taking me straight down to hell right now, screwed up my laptop, won't read ANY CDs on my desktop. :mad: :mad:

Dishonorable mention goes to Linksys USB Network Adapters and USB hard drives.

It ran a AMD K-6 2 350 and I upgraded to a AMD K-6 2 500. It ran great for about 7 minutes and then *pop, smoke, fizzle* end of story.

Any mb like abit that uses those dreaded highpoint controllers!!!!!

I had an Abit bp6 and be6.
I ended up using a promise u-100 controller for my bp6 and just used the onboard ultra 33 controller on the be6. Then my be6 died, everything else still worked but that board.
Sold off my bp6.
I don't like AS*ITS anymore!!!!!
:mad:

My 4 port USB hub. It works fine, but it's just annoying and in my way. I could move it, but I'm too lazy to get behind my desk and unplug the USB wire.

edit:
Scratch that. I just noticed senectus's post and it reminded me of how much I hate the "insert" key while I'm typing an email or something. The "insert" key is my least favorite computer part.

My Soundblaster Live Platinum 5.1. I bought it for the Live Drive and cant even use it because when you install the live software it disables DMA, which is kinda more important...

So really i could have bought a $20 C-Media sound card rather than this $350 POS and had a better card...

live and learn...

BTW, i love my AMD K6/2 350, it makes a whoopass forums server :)

Burn :(

Yep...
But CDROMs and Floppies even Suck more.

Any CPU fan that I have had the misfortune to purchase for my slot a 500 atlon, every one has developed a fault within three weeks of purchase! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :rolleyes: :mad:

i hate those laptop finger mouse pad things.. little squares you rub with your fingertip.. and if you accidently tap it twice it activates something or other (just like a button).

Cheap cases! I can picture a guy sitting at the end of the production line with a file - getting those edges *extra* sharp...

I had a GA-5AA. I had a 350 in it and when I upgraded to a 550 it smoked the processor and the board. Gigabyte can kiss my a$$. :mad:
