So, which company do you think makes the best looking parts, and what do you like about those parts? Whether it's motherboards, RAM, graphics cards or anything else.

 

I personally have a thing for Corsair components. I like their simplicity and sleek black look with a white logo.

 

EDIT: Seeing as people have taken to doing it in this fashion, I'll do it too;

 

Motherboards: Asus

GPUs: EVGA

RAM: Corsair

PSUs: Corsair/be quiet!

Cases: Corsair 

Mice: Mad Catz (Don't know why)

Keyboards: Corsair (That black aluminium)

CPU Coolers (Air): be quiet!

CPU Coolers (Loop): Corsair

CPU Coolers (Block): EK

Liquid Cooling Parts: XSPC, EK, Bitspower

Corsair and Fractal Design makes awesome stuff. EVGA also makes some really good looking graphics cards, the ACX cooler looks awesome.

I have to agree with you on the ACX cooler. Those things look so nice.

Red and black seems to be really popular at the moment. Luckily for you, almost all gaming oriented motherboards seem to be in a red/black colour scheme.

I am at that point. Even if the others perform better, I've decided that I'm getting my 780 with an ACX cooler.

I saw a Tomb Raider inspired build that used Noctua fans, and it's the only time that I've liked how they look. Once Noctua release their black fans, I'll be all over them.

I'm quite fond of MSI's Twin Frozr series, not only does the cooling kick ass, but they look amazing :D

I don't particularly dislike how they look, it's just that there's not much else that goes with the colours. When someone gets it right, they look really nice.

 

My rig is mainly black with some white, so that's why I'm looking forward to them.
