The hardest part is when things don't fit right, and you have to kinda force it, but you don't want to break anything.

i would say that the hardest part, emotionally, is when you put it together, and it doesnt work, and then you tinker around with it so much, you end up breaking 5 pins off your $500 cpu. sad times, sad times...

I can properly put a system together faster than most so the part I hate is the HD format and windows install. :p

The case connectors suck too and for this reason I usually forget about the LED's and the reset button.. all I need is for the power button to work. ;)

Floppy connector can be a pain too.
