I prefer beige. Black shows dust too easily. Even just a little amount of dust shows quickly.

Besides. I use a computer for programming and neffing. I don't look at the box under my desk.

MSI equipment has replacement covers in their retail boxes. Black, Blue, White. Nice touch since I was already impressed with the 6-channel Audio PowerDVD it came with :eek:

Painting them is cheating.

Beige is really ugly. I prefer black. I would even spend a little more for a black one rather then beige.

Re: the appliance question - every single part of my kitchen that can be classified as an appliance (stove, microwave, oven, dishwasher) is black.
I prefer black for my computer.
