Stuff I like: Asus, MSI, Microsoft, Logitech, Plextor, Lite On, Antec, Sony monitors, Crucial, Creative, nVidia, AMD, Thermalright

The only brand I have a strong dislike for is Epox. I've owned 3 of their mobo's. All have died a horrible death in 6 months or less.

No brand bias when it comes to desktop computer parts.
With cars my bias is Toyota. With laptops IBM/Toshiba.

I'm generally neutral, though with some biases and pet peeves:

CPU: Intel (but ain't happy with this Prescott, itching to try AMD on my future upgrade)
Motherboard: Asus (currently using an Abit but ain't too happy with it...)
Hard Drive: Western Digital (I'm anti-Seagate, uber-anti-Maxtor)
Sound Card: Creative
Mouse: Logitech
Speakers: Altec Lansing
Optical Drive: Lite-ON, BenQ (I'm uber-anti-Samsung)
