Found this on Amazon when searching for a PC Case.

Link here.

EDIT: Plus, it costs £236.27 (Approximately $368.04 US Dollars : $427.27 Canadian Dollars)

Looks like they took a snail shell or a turbocharger and said "hey that would be a GREAT computer case!"

Oh, forgot, 99% of non reference coolers. 

 

This. EVGA is one of the few companies who make non-reference cards that look sexy as hell. Then again, I like the sleek, classy look to my PC rather than what I call "muscle car" rigs. (You know, the cases that have like seventeen different angles on the panels to make them look cool and edgy... No pun intended.)

 

Now, I'm not sure if this is THE ugliest GPU I've ever sen, but it definitely pissed me off when I found it. The casing looked great and instantly caught my eye as a potential card I'd use. It's a good balance of sleek and "muscle-car."

AND THEN I SAW THE BACK OF IT...

It looks AWFUL, and since it's the part of the card you'll actually see in the build, it just instantly made me sad. They used an incredibly short version of the card and put the fan at the end like it was an afterthought. All they would have had to do was throw in a backplate and it would have been a great looking card!

But it looks really nice :c

It's supposed to be a minimalist case. Therefore, by its very nature, it cannot look nice. It can only function at a bare minimum for what a case needs to do.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

I personally think the R5 (and its brothers) is the most beautiful under $150 case on the market, and it has absolutely wonderful features as well. It's optimized for silence while having some of the most diverse mounting options for radiators in its price range The only thing I like more is that new Lian Li Cube with the glass side panels and LEDs? I forget the name off the top of my head. I do understand that some people don't care for the minimalist approach, though. You're free to dislike it, just like I'm free to dislike 90% of the other cases on the market -- especially ones like the Phantom Series! Eugh.

 

Also, I found a new ugly tech on the newest LTT video! This is honestly the ugliest case I've ever seen. I rather go with that Lian Li shell case someone linked above!

Except that it can't, because that wouldn't be minimalist.

It's a plain looking box. Nothing more. :P

So nothing simplistic can be beautiful? That makes no sense. What about the sky? It's just blue with some white stuff here and there. It's simple, yet beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so let's just agree to disagree that it's beautiful or ugly or whatever you may think, rather than throwing around how it's impossible for something to be beautiful due to it being simple.

You are right. Simple things can be beautiful. But Fractal designs aren't simplistic, they're "minimalist", meaning they are designed for function and not form.
