It's a new level of shitty -- everything you didn't like about plywood and chipboard combined.
Why are aftermarket computer chasses all so hideous?

I think the top right one looks nice. Clean and inconspicuous.
Man, that brings back memories. The 6500 was my first computer. Damn thing was super heavy! Although, looking back now, I wish I had bought a PC instead and installed Linux on it so I'd have a head start learning it.

For what fucking purpose?
Also I have horror to show you all.

And I thought it was bad that I've seen a gym with most of the wooden sections of it made out of those. Stained and everything. I guess someone really likes the unfinished building look.
Thomas Mitchell
cases are good but its hard to find good motherboards because almost everything is gamer crap now.
Cooper Brown
This problem is EVERYWHERE in consumer goods. I think of it as a "disco ball" aesthetic. When I was a pre-teen, I thought this look was cool. When I grew up, I realized that the device should not draw attention to itself; it should do it's damn job with as few bells and whistles and lights as possible.
I have two PCs -- Both are in Fractal Design cases; one in a black Node 202 and the other in a white Define R4. Pics related. I like them well enough. The Node 202 looks nice in my entertainment center. I wish the Define R4 had a satin or matte finish. Glossy finish is shit and I don't understand why it's so popular.

Holy shit delete this before it's too late

same thing with music players. when I was pre-teen I thought Winamp looks cool, especially with skins. When I grown up and developed esthetics I found foobar2000 to be superior, it uses native OS controls and looks and 90% of the screen is your song list
this is also why classic windows looks (win 1, win2, win3, win95, win98, win2000) are superior to and destroy linux (KDE, gnome). there is xfce and lxde but windows beats them too. linux has no answer to windows superiority.
Kevin Williams
KDE and Gnome do suck, yeah. XFCE and LXDE are super lightweight so they get a free pass. But there are other environments: Cinnamon, Mate, Pantheon, Window Maker, Enlightenment, Budgie, Deepin, and others.
And I think Cinnamon looks very nice. Way better than anything Microsoft ever did.

Because you're a whiny bitch
