QOTD: Do You Put Brand Labels On Your PC?

[Guest]

I don't put any stickers on my case. I do this for the same reason I don't put any stickers on my car.

ATI Sticker on my 101 HP engine )

I have a very old full tower case where stickers go to die. I just can't throw the stickers away. Similarly to the way my wife won't allow us to use return address labels we receive in junk mail unless we donate money to them. I can't throw away a sticker that a vendor went to so much trouble to send to give to me as a gift for purchasing their products. I don't want to have a mishmash of stickers on my production box either. Not because I care about whether the "carpet matches the drapes", but because I don't really get to see my production box hidden under my desk. So, my steel full tower, with a 950Mhz Athlon and matching nostalgic components looks like a racecar with seriously nerdy sponsors. It is in plain sight for all to see. I think my Newegg sticker is the most prominant.

Nope, no stickers on my stuff. I like my stuff to be as simple and sleek as possible. I tend to buy a case based on how much it doesn't have on the front, i.e. USB, FireWire, Audio, eSATA, Card Reader... I use to work in a repair shop and people would bring in computers and printers with the sales spec stickers still on them and it would bug the crap out of me. Most people didn't even know they came off. We would charge people extra to remove them with goo gone.

When the "Intel Inside" stickers first came out, I put them on the trashcans at work. People loved it. 😀

No sticker whatsoever on my home pc. And in my work laptop, the ATI, Intel am Microsoft stickers went away the second I grabed it.
No need to flash what kind of hardware I'm running - it is a mere machine, designed do make my tasks simpler, and that's all.

I dont like stickers and always get rid of them as fast as possible.

I did once paint over the brand of my monitor though since it was a packard bell and i hate packard bell (though back in the day the only computer you could order cheap and pay for spread over a year and they would deliver within 24 hours at my remote location however the computer itself failed within a year and after i got it back from repairs i already build a new one but kept the monitor).

[joefriday]

[toxirau]

A very worn off ATI sticker on the back of my phone and a Intel Pentium 4 Sticker on my wallet which is also very worn off. It might even be bonded with the fabric of it.

 

[joesapp37]

[decepticon]

I have a 5-year old. I don't get to play with any stickers. However, I just don't see the point of adding a marketing advertisement to the stuff I build. I know what's in there--that's all that matters.

I love the stickers on my case. I have a nice Gigabyte one on the top and BFG, Corsair, and Sound Blaster on the side. I also have an Ubuntu and Thermalright stickers on the inside.

 

[Ogdin]

I have a Windows Vista Premium Certified sticker on my garbage can atm.

 

[ksenter]

I have two arctic cooling stickers and a gigabyte sticker on my stapler...

 

[FSXFan]

I don't have any stickers on my PC, but I have a cabinet door on my desk with dozens of stickers I've acquired through the years. All different brands from Intel and AMD, Gigabyte and Asus, Cooler Master and Arctic Cooling. I don't like stickers all over my components though, I even peeled the stickers off my laptop (not the ones on bottom, just the "Intel" and "Designed for Windows Vista" ones).

Speaking of Type-R stickers, I lived in New Mexico for a while and always seen this brand new Corvette some jackass had put a Type-R on. I only wish that was the dumbest thing I ran across there.

 

[tenor77]

I have an AMD sticker on there.

 

[hillarymakesmecry]

No, it's cheesy.

I have a Zalman, a Core2 Duo and Sound Blaster sticker on my case, reflecting what's inside.

 

[dark_lord69]

I have an AMD sticker on my case and an ATI sticker on my case as well but you know what, other stickers go well on a computer case too. I have a Danger: High Voltage sticker and a few other stickers. You what is surprising and cool? You can put one of those temporary tattoos on your computer case as well, I've got a few cool ones on mine.

I stick them to the case only if they are useful.

As for example, once I got a motherboard sticker with the name model writen on it, so I added it to the case, because is useful to know the model without opening the case, or downloading CPU-Z.

Some Intel motherboars include a sticker with detail of jumpers, an motherboard components (jumper to reset bios, batterie location, same channel memory slots, etc)

Is useful when you manage lots of machines, and reinstall windows.

but generally, I don't like to paste trash on the cases. I think that is bad taste to make free propaganda. And when you change the mobo, you need to remove those crap sticked.

When they said dual-core cpu they're talking 1core for the CPU and 1core for the sticker..... ha.. the first pentium D. They did have 2 cores but they felt like half of it was missing. Is it because I never installed the sticker on my box??
