I like two and three but the first one isn't my cup of tea to say the least.

 

The problem with these lists though are how opinionated they are. I could probably go through some build logs on here and pick out nicer ones.

Yeah. That's a damn clean piping job on the first one though.

I feel like the pictures look better than the actual builds.

i like the third one better , first one seemed too 'open' , i think case gives it a kinda retro feel.

Details separate people.

I was just saying how awesome the pics were, not that the builds weren't amazing too.

That first one is really clever. Never seen a design like that before. Looks like something that came off a steam engine :)

Number one looks like a cappuccino machine

Espresso* machine, and yes it does, but with an old school boiler. Most modern espresso machines have horizontal boilers.

Where's the disk storage on the first one? Looked up the build log but I don't see it. Maybe an mSATA?

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

I like how "Clean" the first one is. It's impractical and I would never actually use it, but it looks really sleek.

I can be a cynical a**hole at times. I apologize if I cause any offence at those time. I also occasionally have issues communicating my point. Extreme introversion + Photographic memory + Some other things.

Desktop: i5-4670k - 8gb 1600MHz - MSI 7850

Laptop: i7-4810QM - GTX 870m - 8gb RAM
