Radeon 7500 "Powered by ATI" built by Sapphire. I want to smash it into little tiny pieces. :|
BigJohnKC- I really like my Strategic Commander. It's awesome for Dungeon Siege! Although, I did only pay $15 for it.
Retail at $50 is way too much.
amish

My '95 Dodge Ram 1500 truck. Getting ready to go on my third transmission under 85K miles. God it is such a POS. Never will I own another Dodge truck unless it is manual transmission. I don't even tow anything. I just use the truck to go back and forth to work. Dodge just makes trashy transmissions.
With as much as I hash on their tranny's you don't know how funny that is to hear.
Sorry to hear about your trouble though three things:
1) 1978 Honda CX500. I knew it had recall issues, but i still took the chance and purchased it. Not too long after i was riding it, it was plagued with one of the recall problems (cam chain tensioner...) and not too long after that, the engine seized up and now it's just sitting in my garage waiting to be parted out.
2) 1985 jaguar xj6. I've seen monkey's do a better electrical job of wiring before (ok, not really), but this is probably one of the worst investments of my life.
3) Packard Bell Force 872 CDT. It was a pi]blazing fast[/i] 100 mhz computer with 16/32 mb of ram and a huge 1.something gb hard drive. I paid close to $2200 for it on clearance @ CompUSA (one of the reasons i don't shop there anymore) and terribly regret it.

Well what really pissed me off was that I bought an extended warranty since I bought it used in '97 with 25K miles. I spent the money to have a warranty until 75K miles. At 73.5K the tranny died on the interstate. It up shifted and went BAM. No power. Would not go into any gear so I had to cross 4 lanes of traffic. Anyways, Dodge did not want to honor the warranty. I had to threaten a lawyer to get them to honor it. Of course I am sure they just put in the biggest POS they could find. That is why it is starting to die again. It shows the same symptoms as before. Hard shifts when going from park to drive. I now use the emergency brake before I put it in park so that the parking gear has no stress put on it. Now that I am out of warranty, I am SOL when it dies the next time. I am out of a job at the moment trying to find a job. I have zero money. If it dies, I don't know what I will do.
My SegaCD. This was back when it first came out in the early 90s, and I actually saved up the $300 for it while I was a kid in high school. Man... I should've used the money for a SuperNES instead, but I was a Sega Genesis fan boy and thought the SegaCD would be _the_ SNES killer (hardware scaling and rotation!!). Although there were some good games for it (Lunar: The Silver Star), most of the games were crappy FMV "interactive" movies or Genesis ports with added CD music and new features (Ecco the Dolphin, Batman). Whatta waste of money... at least I didn't get suckered into buying the 32x *snicker*
compaq lappy from radioshack that has shared video memory and crashes when it gets too hot playin warcraft...to top it off the modem cord got stuck in it and it took forever to get out
That's what you get for buying detroit twice.
My parent bought a Dodge Aries (k-car) in the 80's that was the biggest pile I've even seen. It rattled like crazy, was sooooo slow, and died completely at 75K.

A brand new Fiat X1/9 . . . (back in the day) it would be my "worst car ever" (it was literally coming apart at 30K) EXCEPT for the fact I sold it to a Fiat dealership 2 years after I originally bought it and made over $2000 (the car got very popular and their purchase price doubled in 2 years). Fix It Again Tony.
The junk '87 Volkswagan Jetta I bought in Hawaii this Winter that only lasted a month . . . that was a real piece and waste of money - if fact, it waited until I registed the car to fall apart the next day.

yea, i'd have to agree with you on that one. Mine is sooooo damn hot. I even returned it to RadioCrack for a new one (it wasn't new. it was a display unit with a dead pixel :|). I'm thiking of eBaying it and getting a Dell.
No more Compaqs!
Biggiest piece of $H!T I have ever bought was a $299 Sony PS2. I had to take it back a few times because of defects. I guess the Wally World got some bad batches or something. I bought one new tray made some weird noises the next day so I took it back. Second one worked great for over a month but for some reason some games was pausing ever 10-15 mins and when a games was loading the laser made some loud noises. People on here said the laser was out/going out of alignment so I took it back. The third one worked perfect except when I went to turn the thing on for the first time the power switch in the back caved in a hair which I know wasnt normal. After that I told them to give a refund as I thought it was a overpriced hunk of junk. My bro inlaw bought a $200 Sony DVD player and a $350 Sony Receiver they both died. Receiver went out about 3 months of use then the DVD player went out a month after that.
I think I will stay clear of Sony products or a long while if I can.

A Creative Labs 2x DVD drive and Decoder card. I spent 4 1/2 hours on the phone with creative tech support to finaly get the damn decoder card working. And when i did finanly get it working the video quality was soo freakin horrible i couldnt stand watching more than one movie on it before i yanked it from my machine. Worst 100 bucks i ever blew.
Gateway G6-266 with 32MB RAM and a 5GB HDD :| It was removed from their line 2 weeks after I bought it in '98 and I couldn't do a damn thing as I was away in a project in Atlanta I rebuilt my current rig around it until I finally replaced the case last of all a couple of months back. The very last remainder from this $1800 (including shipping) POS is the 200W PSU powering my rig in the RMAed absence of my PP303X
I also bought an $85 Perfection 610 scanner a couple of years back that I've used for all of 4 times maybe
