Horrible Mobo and GPU box art

I just knew my IP35 Pro would be first!

A monster truck is definitely not relevant on a mobo box :rofl:

Too funny. This was my favorite comment:

I don't know what sort of technology it takes to incapacitate a robot with bordeom, but Sapphire has done it. Sold.


I can't stand the IP35 Pro's box, but I still managed to buy two. Good thing we don't run motherboard boxes. :D

FWIW, my favorite:

A monster truck is definitely not relevant on a mobo box :rofl:But it is relevant to 3DMark01 :D :D

(well, at least a red, off-roading pickup is, not necessarily a monster truck)

Heh, I actually had that card... I remember when I was all happy to move from my TNT to a GTS2. Guess I never really thought about it, I'd rather they came in a plain box with a label and they could pass the savings along to us! Waaaiiitt... that makes too much sense, after all, who doesn't want a raptor on the box?

[Zytek_Fan]

I like to display my boxes, so I'd prefer them be good looking :D

[firebane]

oh man I remember the days when Abit came in those boxes haha.

The only thing wrong with it is the EXTRA GPU! part.

I'd have said the "Hottest DX10 Game Inside" ruins it more than the "Extra GPU!!" bit.. Either way, how the hell can these companies not get *DECENT* designers for their packaging? Club3D had nice minimalistic design back in the day, just as Gainward was generally the whackest ugliest stuff I've ever laid my eyes on. Made it look like a hello kitty collectible more than a state-of-the-art graphics card..

Gawd it's like the Little Prince on really bad acid.

And, yes, thanks to you I will never forget that. :slap: :p: :up:

Someone mentioned they couldn't display their box because the eyes on the umbrella scared their children :rofl:

Zotac 9600gt, orange looks bad

I like these two old Asus boxes, nice, simplistic, and best of all, NO Pictures!

My current GFX card and Mobo's boxes are these. They arent too bad compared to others in this thread though! ACyborg Bear claw is a little silly, but the rest looks nice, and the biker Chick at least looks real:

(photobucket should eventually resize the motherboard pic to 800x600 as well)

'Snip'

Train - 'Express'

But I agree' its still horrifically bad:ROTF:

[gr8golf]

I'll have to see if I can find my DFI box - it says "UV on - tweak fun". People in my office mocked me for years. There was also some stupid gamer on the box - which didn't help. Great board though!

Found a new one. Awesome card, but not awesome box.
