Things You Don't Like In PC Cosmetics?

[MPX309]

Ok, so there's obviously things that u like and dislike. . . and I don't so much mean u see it on someone else's rig and think badly of it, although that could be the case (not the actual case it's in, lol) But for me I am not a fan of LED fans. . . I see the attraction, and there are occasions I see builds posted where it works and looks nice, but I think if I built ten personal rigs for myself in the next year not one of them would have any LED fan in them. So what little things don't you like?

Those wires that are run in plain site because they have to! WHY CAN'T COMPANIES AGREE ON WHERE TO PUT EVERYTHING SO STUFF LOOKS SLEEKER?!?!???!

[fishymamba]

How GPU shrouds are upside down. Companies design awesome looking coolers and no one can see them because they are upside down. 

[Hoppa]

The red, yellow, and black cables
Red and black color scheme on high end stuff

Things that don't have RGB lights

Off-theme colored LEDs on motherboard

Blue or red colored PCBs

Most branding logos/ names on water cooling parts (fittings etc)

Vomit brown color SLI cable

How GPU shrouds are upside down. Companies design awesome looking coolers and no one can see them because they are upside down. 

and thats why there are inverted motherboard cases =P

[Art Vandelay]

I hate when they write words on your GPU and it ends up upside down when it's in the case.

 

I hate vented windowed side panels.

 

I hate anything made of aluminum, since aluminum stains really easily.

 

I hate everything glossy for obvious reasons.

I personally think top-mounted power supplies look awful. I don't know why, they just do. I'm glad most modern cases have them bottom-mounted.

[zombiepixel]

i dont have many dislikes but i hate the naming of stuff IT MAKES IT SEEM TO MUCH MORE COMPLICATED THEN IT ALREADY IS! you want to appeal to every gamer dont make it seem like its so hard by adding numbers and stuff

[Cacti]

Well it doesn't come with the case but I despise it when people put stickers on their cases. It just looks terrible.

[Glenwing]

LED fans, and colorful I/O panels on the rear.  And non-black PCBs.

[nishank93]

Ventilated windows on side panels are the worst.

[DeViLzzz]

I put the stickers on to support the companies who I buy products from.  They are usually on the top so I don't see them and they don't make my builds look ugly but if I bring my pc elsewhere well then people know what is inside of my builds and that is a good thing.

Windows, i used to like the look of 7 then i installed Kubuntu and now i think it's ugly.

[ofr057]

high airflow cases ... look awful and are a dust magnet

[Common_Courtesy]

-Vented window side panels

-Stock coolers

-non sleeved cables

-mismatched colors(black and red themed build and then blue ram... it drives me insane)

-Dvd drives messing up the look of the front panel

-Plastic

-The existence of Cit

-EA

 

 Tbh i'm just constantly unhappy with everything.

Windows, i used to like the look of 7 then i installed Kubuntu and now i think it's ugly.

KDE :3

 

I dislike see through coolants. Pastel for me :)

[mybeat]

- Non sleeved cables. 

- Ultra bright LEDs 

- Lots of plastic

[0s4x]

-Dvd drives messing up the look of the front panel   

This is one I'll never understand, but that's probably because I enjoy watching blu-rays on my PC, so to me the optical drive represents the ability to do something that I love, so to me it's beautiful.

[Artorias]

-Not thoroughly trimmed individually sleeved cables like this:



I prefer the flat one's like this:



-Glossy Computer parts (Cases, mouse, etc. w/ some exceptions)
-Blue/Red LEDs (I prefer Sky blue-like color LEDs)
-Aluminum Cases that got stained by finger prints
-Don't like any colored cases (Prefer plain white, black or gun metal/titanium)
-Water-cooling on custom-cooler for video cards or water-cooling on a reference designed GTX Titan/780/770
-Messy desktop screen w/ lots of icons
-M$ & EA <--- So mainstream

[FloRolf]

When people dont thing their watercooling loop through correctly so the tubes are meter long and go everywhere. Especially with wc rigs the look is so important!

[Samdb]

I don't know what you're talking about.

 

[MPX309]

ahh yea vented side windows. . . good shout, and vented side windows with LED fans stuck to them. . . . Ultimate nightmare! 

[Tommy]

Overuse of LED's. One or two is fine, and looks pretty cool - but then you get people who make their case look like a faire ground, shoving LED's everywhere and making it all look like crap.

 

I hate any PCB's that aren't black, and I WAY prefer a GPU with a backplate.

[Wint3rSh0ck]

- Definitely joining in on the hate for vented side panel windows

- Crappy stock sleeving on PSU's

- ODD's, especially on cases with very specific finishes on the front like 350D's. Just ruins absolutely everything!

- In systems with custom loops, I hate seeing long, slack tubing runs

[Shirosaki]

Watercooled GPUs, they're so thin and ugly

Fans on side panels

Red, blue or brown pcb's
