Cheap Tat
OneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

One of my home PCs is a Dell...
and it is affectionately known as 'Trigger's Broom' because I've had it for years and replaced every single part at least 3 times except for the mobo and case (obv). It has taken a kicking over the years and keeps on ticking.
So Dell are alright in my book...except for the shite 'internal bracket' idea that means you can't just plug any device straight in.
