What are the worst tech purchases you or your family have ever made?

I watched a video recently and wanted to know what other have bought over the years.

    nope, older ATI. HD 4000 and HD 5000 series.

    and just to make a point, it wasnt the PSU failing either. It was the GPUs. the PSU is still actually alive and well today, running a relatives system with no issues.

        as I said in my post, it wasnt the PSU. It has gone on to power many gaming systems since then without issue (its last hurrah being a R9 280x based system before its retirement), and is living out its retirement running an email/bill pay terminal for a relative still as reliable as ever.
