For many years the standard colour that PC boxes and monitors cam out in was that kinds off-white/ivory shades of colours. Then a couple of years ago the fashion became black, at least for entry-level and mid-range computers (basically the bulk of all computers).

Will this ever change ... say, back to white/ivory again?

EDIT: No, this post has no hidden political agenda. :D

fashion or not, those beige monsters were ugly through and through :D
 
I have always thought there was a market for custom-built cases made of wood - for your upper-crust rich folk.

Unfortunately I have a problem hammering in a nail without a disaster.
 
if we were spoiled for choice i wud go for a dark metallic blue finish allround . . . oh well
 
I asked this at a PC manufacturing plant once in (10 years ago or so). The answer I was given is that the dye to make stuff black was cheaper than the dye to make stuff white or cream. Hence the change.

Gentlemen prefer blondes anyway.
