I've always found the Merlin graphics card one of the prettiest pieces of Amigakit around. Simply because of the word "Merlin" written in silkscreen on the card and the memory modules.
I've got one of these cards myself - it's broken beyond repair but I've put it on a shelf just to look at it :-)

The ugliest pieces of hardware are any kind that are sitting in some inspirationless plastic box like this or this.
Imagine having a few of these things (sampler, MIDI interface, genlock) sitting on your desk, totally not matching eachother. That's just plain horror. :egad:

Other than that, I don't like the looks of the CybervisionPPC. I mean, what kind of shape is THAT for an expansion card?
