    Apart from the front panel connectors on a motherboard, of course. Those fiddly little bastards can get straight to hell.

    I’m so excited to understand what this means! (Just did my first ever build… or rebuild I guess using a case from 2012)

    I mean I’m not excited excited, because yeah fiddly little bastards… single pin connectors on that scale should be illegal.

      You know, I made a bit of a hobby out of Arduinos and Raspberry Pis, which use similar connectors, so those never bothered me. The ones that always make me cringe are those USB 3.0 ones with the heavy inflexible cables, the big stiff plastic plug, and the delicate little pins. I cringe every time I plug one of those in.
