So the outside is cool:

The motherboard and CPU look pretty sweet:

Even the power supply has swag:

But the graphics card doesn't have the cool "GTX 770" and silver and green shit all over it. :(

Is it have to be a Titan to look cool?

 

PS. Don't be jelly of my amazin' photography skills with my vintage camera

swag swag swag swag swag... lol You mean why your card is a non-reference design? Why you buy it?

I customized the PC on PCspecialist.co.uk but it did not specify what kind it was, I can't find any branding on it and I want to know if it's a EVGA, GIGABYTE, or whatever?

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

I wouldn't worry, Palit has been around for a long time now, it's a non-reference design, that's it. It doesn't look bad in my opinion with that black cooler. :) It has a stealthy swiggity-swaggie look. :P 

::DDDDDDD sweeggggiiieeee

Looks cool to me. A black circuit board is a lot more interesting to look at than a black plate of aluminium for me.

At least it's correct I mean, my old camera says it is still 1997. Seems like it hasn't changed since they manufactured it lol

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

They make them to order if you want. They're pretty cheap too.  They're made of acrylic, but you don't really notice once it's installed
