i think the people who say that this card is ugly are just Nvidia haters who are trying to dig up excuses on hating the card. I mean, that is the most rediculous thing you can say, saying that a graphics card is ugly, what do you expect, the card is designed to perform well in graphics not trying to win a fashion show. next thing you know they're gunna be bitching that the CEO of nvidia is butt ugly and refuse to buy NVidia cards, get over it for crying out loud... And if you dont want to buy the card because it looks ugly then dont buy it, are you trying to make a fashion statement here or saying the card sucks? because if you think it sucks, then just say it sucks because its loud, or is slow, but dont say its ugly!! because nobody cares what it looks like unless you're gay or something and care about how the inside of your computer looks.
