Terrible PC components I used that I shudder thinking about now
My PC building past is littered with questionable choices.

My first experience with PCs was an HP pre-built that my parents bought back in 2000. When the Pentium 3 machine was too old, I built my first custom PC in 2007 with a Core 2 Duo chip. Since then, I've built multiple PCs for myself, friends, and family, but some of the earliest builds were far from my best. Seeing the kind of components I picked and used for years, you'd question my sanity when configuring these machines.
