What computer do you consider so ugly, that you would never own one?
Let me start with these two from around 2000.

I've heard of the Hot Wheels version of that computer (didn't realize there was a Barbie version until now! 🤣). Yeah, I don't think anybody could top that in terms of the ugliest computer from that time.

It looks like a Pontiac Aztek

For those living in a country where they were never sold, you have to see an Aztek up close to truly appreciate the horror.

Gah! The pastel colors are too much! I'm going blind! 😵

(Takes off glasses and looks at the "nice" picture again)

Aaahhhh! Much better! 😀

I don't think I can top what brostenen posted either, but I'll give it a shot:

Anyone want a Fisher-Price colored Powerbook? Or a Neon Green Sony Vaio?

How about a Cardboard PC ? Or a Fan Case PC ?

Yup... Thats the type of foam, that is usually being sprayed into caveties in attech's and under roof tiles.
Usually it is pink or reddish colour.

Figured it was some kind of foam.

Also, apparently, there's no evidence of that Honeywell computer ever being sold. The $10k price tag probably didn't help.

I find most pc cases (especially "gaming cases") out there today to be absolutely butt ugly...

The attachment Nude-open-transparent-font-b-pc-b-font-font-b-case-b-font-DIY-font-b.jpg is no longer available

I just want to say that if someone likes these kinds of computers/pc cases, I am not judging them, and I mean no offense....I just don't like them myself.

It is a personal preference. My preference just happens to lean towards simple and/or old school beige, 'all business' or industrial type of look.

Occasionally I do see some modern gaming cases I like such as the original Antec Nine Hundred for example (I just wish it had plain white led's, but the blue is ok if that's the only color)...but I find for the most part, most modern cases lay it on a little too heavy with the cheezy, bling, multicolor led's and fake chrome and such.

There's a Russian network of computer stores which started to make cases and laptops under its own brand around 2010. They are known for low price and awful quality of materials... And this.

More sexy time. A computer that gives you an upskirt view. What more could you ask for?

Computer in a piano. You won't be moving this one very often.

Not so pretty in pink. I think I burned my retinas.

Yup, you're right. It's a Diamond Monster 3D. Sad but true 😐

Here's the link to the site where I found this pic:

You can read all the details about the "thing" there.
