Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!

I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder but this one should ranks in top 10.

I always loved the MC275 and its predecessors but this new trend which has extended to MC830 is a bit of head scratcher.

Feel free to add your pick…no judgements!

On the other hand, a thing of beauty is a joy forever. The look of a component has a big influence (psychological) as to what we may think of its cosmetics and performance.
