ITT Hardware purchases you regret

Give reasons if possible.

>2003, first time building my own rig yay (I'm 12 years old)
>think this looks awesome, nice window, without being the bog standard case that all gaymurs buy
>it turns out to be shit
>annoying 80mm fans that either don't do shit or sound like a jet engine, no happy medium
>shitty expansion slot plastic brackets don't line up with the motherboard, meaning i can't secure any of my cards and they just dangle in sockets for years
>front LED breaks after a few weeks

Gigabyte mobo. Came with 3 broken USB ports, felt cheap, and the wired NIC would not work with any linux live-cd I've thrown at it which is basically unheard of, and it was an atheros chipset that other people had working too, for some reason it worked in windows though with their drive. I never returned it because I was lazy.

AMD card. Drivers suck or don't exist compared nVidia.

Shitty 1TB hitachi external HDD. Proprietary USB-type connector thing that is flimsy cheap shit and can't be replaced without buying from them.

AKG headphones.

Fractal core 3000. Don't get me wrong it's not a bad case at all, just wish I bought something else.

G400, wish I bought a Zowie AM pro.

Nopoo choc mini. Wish I bought a filco.

I originally bought a 1600x900 shitty monitor that sucked. Which let me to one of my probably best tech purchases which was a Dell Ultrasharp.
