It's simple. Just post any technology item, be it a laptop, GPU, clock, just anything you just love the design of, here. Just completely disregard price, performance, and anything else, just post it because you love the design.

You can of course post multiple things later, as you find stuff and new things are released.

My favorite looking thing ever is a Dell Adamo 13, I have a very hard time deciding which color I like the best so I'll just post a picture with both:

I think my 2013 retina MacBook Pro looks brilliant.

I think the word your looking for is aesthetics; and I have to say man, I think that laptop is ugly.

Always been a fan of square/boxy stuff when it comes to tech. I know you guys will probably say square stuff is ugly but I like square stuff.

For example, my Radeon HD 5870's stock cooler:

And the Nokia Lumia 920:

And the ThinkPad laptops (used to own two older ones, the one pictured here is a T540p which I hope to own by the end of this year).

Just my kind of style. I also like the Fractal Design cases which are also kinda square and boxy. ;)

Also loved the MSI Twin Frozr coolers, for example this Twin Frozr II on a GTX 560 Ti:

...and the box art for Adobe Master Collection CS5 (as well as some of the CS6 boxes):

I don't like Apple so I don't really appreciate their designs to be perfectly honest. I (personally) don't think that the MacBook is 'all that'.

You don't really have to like Apple to appreciate their design, ya know. Shane, I always have liked the G5 cases also. The internal layout is really cool, though it seems kinda hard to access stuff that Apple doesn't need you or want you to access ;) The PSU for example. Also, Tuffie, those MBPs do look pretty good. Only Apple would make a laptop out of a single slab of aluminum :p

Those thinkpads do look pretty good. Very simple and boxy.

And speaking of phones, my favorite looking phone ever, and one I was actually able to own, the Nokia N9. The Lumia 900 looks almost identical and the 920 looks similar.

I know, but I think my dislike for Apple kind of makes me not like their designs, if you get what I mean. I know a lot of people love Apple's designs, but I'm not crazy about them.

That's why I like them. :)

I'm kinda split on the Mac Pro. Just on the looks I like it but I kinda want to see the thermal performance when you put all the high end hardware to work.

... but this thread is about the aesthetics so :good:

I think it's weird personally (and so does everybody I know), but there you go. I don't really like Apple at the best of times.

The Cyclone cooler was pretty cool, especially for a lower end card. I wonder why they don't use it anymore.

That Koeniggsegg dash does look slick, I can't tell if its digital or analog lol

Same, I wonder if it just isn't good enough or wasn't worthwhile to keep with Twin Frozr around. They'd probably put a twin frozr cooler on a GT 610 if they thought we were dumb enough to buy it.

As for the Koeniggsegg, I think it is entirely digital but I've never been in one so I don't know.
