Grudges - what tech products won't you buy, and why?

Compaq computers - after having seen and worked on their shitty "big jagged piece of metal as heatsink" computers back in the P2 days, I would never touch one of those again. Can we say poor build quality and cutting corners? How about proprietary drive rails that cost $50 per set, and didn't have any extras included with the computer? I ended up hot-gluing drives into the cases since Compaq insisted on screwing me .

IBM HDD's ( had many fail )

Creative Labs
You don't stick to established standards then plain lie about it, you don't get my money.

Thermaltake
Really hot products. Pity they're heatsinks.

Anyone else have a tech grudge?
