What’s the worst part of your rig?

The noise/vibration caused by multiple hard drives in my awful case.

Wish I had bought a Fractal Design Define R2 (from when I bought my current case, now I'd get R4) instead of the HAF912.. (I also had the HAF932, but it was too big for my taste, so I switched to a smaller one)

I would totally put all my drives in a NAS far away from me, but installing/running games from that seems like a pain in the butt.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700x / GPU: Asus Radeon RX 6750XT OC 12GB / RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4-3200
MOBO: MSI B450m Gaming Plus / NVME: Corsair MP510 240GB / Case: TT Core v21 / PSU: Seasonic 750W / OS: Win 10 Pro

I store a lot of data but I can't justify buying a NAS. I don't have the time and don't want to spend the money. I hate my rig because it vibrates. =_=

My case is ugly and has no cord management.. and my PSU isn't that great.

That it is a laptop with a Celeron M 723 @1.2GHz with a 250GB mechanical hard drive on the SATA1 standard.

That not many games support Linux :( I'm having to use PlayOnLinux for most stuff... but I'd like to have them run natively.

The height of all PSU's bottom mounted, the biggest thing that stands out with certain windowed side panels.

^My PSU sticks out visually being so tall, if it was half height but twice the length, it would give the whole bottom area the nice shelf/clean/flat look through the window.

I like my sleek/clean/single color without stickers PSU's.

I'd prefer a Short but Long version of high wattage perfection (SFF?)

 

I also hate I have not done AIO/Watercooling yet on my Primary Beast, just the HTPC.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

I hate the side window, just the fact that there is one. I hate that I paid Corsair for sleeved cables instead of taking a week to do it myself. I hate that I had to zip-tie away my graphics cards' sag. I hate the noise that all the Corsair fans and the pump make. I hate that LightBoost doesn't play nice with a separate monitor.

Only thing I hate about my rig now is my keyboard, which should be being replaced by the end of  next week with a Ducky Shine 3, depending on how long PC Case Gear takes to ship interstate.

My Battlestation.

Everything, absolutely everything, except possibly the built in display. (2010 iMac)

 

Oh, and the included keyboard is surprisingly good.

my Antec 1200 enclosure has:

 

1.No SSD Support bracket
2. No proper 240mm radiator support (its a really tight fit)
3. No bottom cut out for the bottom mounted power supply.

My Bloodrage Lga1366 Motherboard:
My mobo only supports THREE RAM sticks as it only has 3 Slots.

Noise and colored cables. 

I also have 2 drives that are not below 30c which would be preferable.

I love all of my components apart from the fact that I've got a half red, half blue colour scheme going on... It looks horrid.

And I hate that for some reason there is something vibrating in my Corsair 200R. It seems to slowly increase in volume and it stops when I push the front corner of the PC to the side... I think it's the front panel that's kind of loose, so I might tape it tightly to the case frame and see if that fixes it. :/
