Poll: which Mac is is the ugliest Mac ever?

[villicodelirant]

Hi, today I was looking at a Color Classic and found myself thinking about this.

Apple is famous for industrial design, but I think we can all agree that they put out a few turds, that are either ugly or... at least silly-looking.

What is the worst in your opinion and why?
I've included a bunch of choices, including what I expect to be unpopular ones.

As for me, the Color Classic is the worst ever.
Why? A matter of principle.
It managed to ruin a perfect design with a few swift pencil strokes, turning it into a clunky, odd, plastic-y shape.

That's about what I hate about the iBook G4, which essentially took the Dual USB and replaced everything with opaque plastic, this ruining its delicate balance.

And yes, you read that right, I included the rMB, there is something about it that rubs me the wrong way, it lacks a certain elegance. I wonder if I'm the only one.
[doublepost=1501181542][/doublepost]Ouch, I'm sorry, with LC 575 I mean the whole LC 500 range, of course. I can't edit that anymore.

For me, no contest, and you missed it. It's the PowerMac G3 AIO. Lumpy, bumpy, curvy for no good reason.
Translucent plastic, with sharp metal casing inside (I remember, not fondly, almost always bleeding when taking one apart in a service shop)

Ouchie. I forgot about that awful piece of crap. It's that ugly.

Essentially a more advanced form of the same perversion that was the LC 500 series, after all, but with random curves thrown in. Picture for reference.

Also, a precursor to the iMac G5's ginormous bezel.

This is not so much about "ugly", but about form under function (see what I did there )
I'm looking at you, Macintosh TV. I think Apple took the worst from that 500 series, gave it a black case.
I was working in an Apple specialist when the Mac TV came out. Had a black keyboard and mouse, unique to that model. And Apple apparently didn't make enough spares. I had a customer with a failed black mouse, and Apple never supplied service replacements for the black pieces (or couldn't get one to us, anyway). That was fun...

I give my vote to the Power Macintosh 4400 (also known as the 7220). I had two of these in my collection at one stage and I have a soft spot for them, but man they were ugly. It had a solid steel, PC-style top casing, full of sharp edges (inside and out) and a back-to-front floppy/optical drive arrangement.

But.. it used industry standard ATA/IDE HDDs and Optical drives, PCI expansion bays and a standard ATX PSU.

I voted for the LC575(which I'm taking as the Performa series also).

I'm not a fan of the CC, but I like all the others on your list. I also like the G3 AIO, but then maybe I'm weird.

I have everything there save for the Retina, TAM, and CC. I also have a G3 AIO.
