    I don't think it's that ugly.

    The outter casing is obsiously designed to match there custom graphics card shrouds.
    As are the acid green highlights.
    Personally I'm not that big a fan of the acid green though, blue or red would be nicer.

    Any idea of the real OEM manufactor of this unit?

    How many would one receive DOA on average before giving up and buying a competitor's device?

    ...

    Man, whoda think I'd end up in the same barrel as some of the forum's more boisterous members on the topic of XFX
