Most aesthetically pleasing computer of all time?

Besides that.

98 G3 iMac then later Unibody/Aluminum iMac, and I have a soft spot for the trash can and the cheese grater too.
This reminds me I have to finish watching Clint's cleaning videos. His house was cut in two by a tree during a hurricane so he uploaded videos of him cleaning water damaged equipment.

I wanted to pull up something old but recently...



The FF04, especially designed to only work with Asus Proart 4070 Ti and 4080 Super GPU's.

But the whole design and finished look is something I haven't seen in a long time.

I loved the original iMac. Most electronics shops didn't stock them, but there was an independent computer store near me that would order one in for me. I had to carry it back to my house. It was lovely looking but quite underpowered, so I upgraded to the DVSE version when that came out the following year. Not as nice looking as the blue one. Also had to carry that back to my house.

The 20th anniversary Mac was pretty exotic. I remember using one at Nintendo's press agency, where they had it hooked up to an N64 for screen capture.

The 20th Anniversary Mac is also notable today as the first design worked on by Jony Ive

Can’t stand this crap, yet they seem to be everywhere these days

I agree that too much rgb is silly, but I enjoy looking at a good, clean build. Glass panels are therefore nice in my opinion, as long as the build is well done. Rgb strips and "rainbow effects" is a big no go for me.

We had SSD’s back in the 486DX days? Mind blown, I had no idea. We had almost the exact same pc, but it wasn’t a Dell.
It was my first pc with a sound card too, playing Wing Commander 2 with the voice pack was a transcendent experience.

That's an easy question: The Sharp X68000 series, of course. Specifically the X68000 XVI



This might very likely be the most beautiful computer ever made. Sorry, Apple, but you ain't got shit on this.

I don't think so. Either SSD mean something else referring to the usual hard drive used back then or that graphic was made recently and has the wrong terminology.

For sure every hard drive I had back then was a spinning one, no way folks had SSds back then.

Sorry, but I'm not a PCMR like you are, so I wouldn't buy any of that. And like I said in the other thread I was tagged into here on offtopic recently, I couldn't care less about OF thots and their merch.
People responding in a serious way to a clear joke is never gonna be funny to me.

If it make you feel better, I swear to whatever god you pray, that i didn't even noticed the belle delphine stuff, i thought it was just average lewd anime stuff :lollipop_grinning_sweat:

It's all good dude; just tired of being dragged in OF adjacent posts even if that wasn't your original intention.

Anyway, tag me into threads about console merch like this, and maybe I'll be more receptive. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

The Mindset PC from 1983, an early attempt at a PC-compatible graphics/gaming workstation. It had custom graphics chips similar in power to the Amiga and Atari ST. Unfortunately it wasn't PC-compatible enough and died off pretty quick. The bottom half of the unit is the main part and included two cartridge ports and was envisioned as being able to be sold alone as a high-end game system. The top half had room for two floppy drives and I believe additional memory for more demanding business tasks.

That looks like an Atari Mega ST with the hard disk expansion.
