Hmmm ... Biggest piece of crap i bought computer wise was ...... No wait .... since i research before i buy then i dont buy crap .... darn counts me out for this ...
No wait, bought a P4 350w PS, that never worked straight out of the box but i guess it was just murphys law on that one, other than that all is good!, *crosses fingers, arms, legs and toes* just in case im made to eat my words!

The Logitech Dual Action Gamepad

Left analog stick is defected on every single gamepad. over 1000 peaople have been ripped off. Problem= Logitech Keeps selling the defected controller.

I did not buy any of this crap except laptop. I seen people wore saying that HP desktop or Dell desktop is good then Sony or vice versa. People this is ALL crap!!!
All desktop manufactures are crap. The difference is only how nice looking computer case this company has and nothing else. The quality you have depends on what inside not the look outside. I can buy Computer for as little as 399.00 with is Crap. Or I can buy computer with almost same CPU speed for $1500.00. With in fact you can have real computer or real typewrite.
But anyway this is just me. But I hate when people say that Sony desktop computer is better then HP or something like that. All of them are one big pile of crap. That it.

Speaking of buying crap, it's fathers day tomorrow so all you kids gotta get something for pops. Is pops a computer geek with a smoking habit (tobacco or otherwise)? Here is just the thing. I know I'm gonna put it on my gotta have wish list!!

Chaintech GeForce FX5600 computer wise. Playstation 2 consle wise.

After more than a month of hours on the actual PC and hours of research on the net and no help from their tech support,my biggest piece of crap is my $2200 system I bought from cyberpower.

Snap, i had one too. My other big piece of crap was a razer boomslang, lasted around 2 month untill it made me flip. I smashed up a £30 mouse but it made me feel good


David.

the biggest piece of crap i ever bought was a lexmark printer at £29.99 absolute bargain until the half full ink run out and i had to replace them (ouch) i would rather pay extra for the printer and get cheaper carts. Rock on Epson and Canon you guys rule!!!!

I got a Canon i550, the thing costed me $107 at bestbuy, and the cartriges are only $13 for black an $11 for the color ones

Biggest pieces of s**t I ever had:

AMD K6 500 mhz with 64 ram, windows me and via based mobo. Piece of s**t sucked so much that it would freeze even you tried to play nfs3.

FX5200 given by a friend... Even worse, its a PCI card. It sucks so much that I think playing with the onboard video is faster.

Compaq Presario something which belongs to my mom. God this computer sucks s**t bad. p4 2.4 processor without ht, 256 of 2100 ram and 80 hdd at 5600. Just a big waste of $1200. Only good thing it has is the flat 17'' monitor. Thats all.

Now about desktop manufacturers being s**t, that is completely not true. My VAIO has been with me for 3 years now and its just awesome. I never had any problems. I bought my 9800pro too and no problems at all. Just plugged it in, threw the 5200 away and began gaming.

Power Color's 9800se
and an Intel P4 3.0c couldnt even hit 3.4ghz with it

Good thread this... for me its the Biostar 7TDH 845 chipset..... s**tty s**tty s**tty

I normaly do a lot of reseach before buying computer kit so I'm not normaly disapointed.

However I did once buy a wirless keyboard and mouse from PC World for £20, that was pretty crap.

Any printers bought with the name "HP" on them. They have all been unvariably pieces of crap.

Any soundcards or modems from Creative - have been unreliable and poor quality.

Aopen Desktop computers deserve a mention here aswell - awful build quality.

Briefly, brands worthy of praise include Samsung and Lite-On.

biggest piece of s**t for me was a packard bell computer from pc world. i think it was a p4 1.35ghz,20g hd,nvidia 64mb gpu and a s**tty combo drive that kept breaking. they wouldent replace it because i replaced windows millenium with 2000.....lol they told me they didnt support windows 2000 even though the case had a designed for windows 2000 sticker on the front...........that was the last time i shopped at pc world
