6.  DEC AlphaStation 200 4/xxx:  You have to remove the hard
    drives to install the memory, and the cables (SCSI and
    power) for the hard drives don't have enough clearance
    to easily install the hard drive mounting bracket with
    two drives and all the memory installed.

5.  Rolls Royce Silver Shadow:  You have to drop the dash
    to change the headlights.
