What do you guys think were some of the best looking vintage PCs of the 80s/90s?
I've always been a big fan of the 5150. No fancy bullshit, just rock-solid parts in an inoffensive color. The monochrome displays always looked fucking great, too.
I always liked the designs and colors of pre-2000s PCs. Sharper corners and lighter palettes (lots of white and beige) are more appealing to me than "sleek" and "black/chrome"
Some might say it's nostalgia, but what designs can we even be nostalgic about today? Everything is either meme "master-race" gaming PCs with bright lights, or otherwise tablets and phones (and there isn't much to talk about there).
There's so many I could pick from but probably the IBM PCjr for being such a cute little package

I get you but silverstone and fractal design do make elegant cases, it's mostly a result of bad taste on the owner's part.
it's true there isn't a single well design smart phone, certainly not any mobile OS, but IBM era thinkpads are still common with anyone who knows computers.

synology also makes beautiful NAS storage drives/bays
I've always liked the little Commodore PET
Richard sapper's designs for IBM & leapfrog are more impressive than anything post-next Apple has put out

Not a PC, but Sun servers are pretty badass. Way better looking than Dell or HP.

This has nothing with fashion to do, go to /g/
And drop trip, you're just making fun of yourself Bateman

Anything Amiga
it really is a shame that tech and industrial design took such a massive nosedive in quality after 2007. fucking apple is part to blame. even worse because a titanium powerbook reboot with modern specs would be amazing, someone should really clone it
