I really don't like choosing just one specific company because I always try to choose a theme or a set of colours which they might not have a matching part for, so I'll choose several.

 

My list

Motherboards: MSI/Gigabyte

GPUs: MSI/EVGA/reference nVidia

RAM: Corsair/Kingston

PSUs: Enermax/NZXT/Corsair

Cases: CaseLabs/Fractal/Corsair/Silverstone/Lian LI(I would never buy one because of cable management, though)

Mice: Razer/Logitech/Mionix/Func(/Corsair if we only consider looks)

Keyboards: Ducky/DAS/Filco/SteelSeries

SSDs: Samsung/Kingston

CPU Coolers (Air): be quiet!/Prolimatech/Xigmatech/Thermalright/Zalman/ASUS/Phanteks

CPU Coolers (Loop): Corsair

CPU Blocks: XSPC

GPU Blocks: XSPC

Pump covers, fittings etc: Bitspower

Dye: Mayhems

Fans: NoiseBlocker/Corsair/Cougar

I'm going to state an unpopular opinion and say that I LOVE the way my Rosewill Fortress PSU looks. The finish is amazing.

Never seen that before, so I did a quick Google. That could look so good in an industrial themed build.

 

I've seen builds where people scuff their PSU and RAM to get a similar style finish and they always look really nice.

I like EVGA, Gigabyte, Corsair, and Fractal the most. Also Logitech has some of the best peripherals ever.

Motherboards: MSI

GPUs: nVidia - 700 series reference cooler is beautiful

RAM: Corsair

PSUs: Corsair

Cases: Apple*

Mice: Razer

Keyboards: Corsair/Ducky

 

And yes I am serious about Apple having the best looking cases. I absolutely hate 99% of the cases available for our PCs, and feel that many case companies could learn a lot from the aesthetic design of the old Mac Pro. Simple yet attractive, aluminium and no cheap crappy plastic...

 

To be honest the only case I've seen that I can't pick much fault with so far is the Define R4. Which is why that's the case I'm purchasing for my gaming computer. :)

I say that, but I still use my MacBook since I find it nicer to use than a Windows based laptop (sorry). I do admit that some of their products do look very nice; simple and clean looking. The new Mac Pro looks like a bin though. 

 

Apple can make good products. I am a huge fan of the iphone and mac book air!

PC Specs:  2x GTX 550 ti in SLI - Intel i7 2600k @ 3.4Ghz - Thermaltake Overseer Case - 8 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram - 1TB Harddrive - 500 Watt PSU that came with my old prebuilt pc lawl -  ASUS P8P67 EVO

Peripherals:  Razer Deathadder Black Edition - Razer Arctosa Keyboard - Logitech G53 Headset

Cool song of the day: Chief Keef - Round da Rosey    Changed my profile pic again...                                        Mountain Dew is good. So are video games and music. Oh and unicorns.
