    Not sure if this has been done before (otherwise here is the refresh ;-) we had our fun with the best console ever but what about the best looking one? this is interesting as some obsecure consoles may pop up like the pc-fx/wondermega/sanyo 3do and so on.
    Let's add dev consoles as well, as they can be goodlooking too!
    a sexy tool is like a fit ps2 ;)

    Here go my 5 nominations:

    -Sega Wondermega
    -Sanyo 3DO
    -PC-FX
    -Xbox 360 (Elite)
    -Panasonic Q

    I prefered the Victor Wondermega as it had nicer coloured buttons. :p

    So

    Victor Wondermega - For the unique motorised top loading tray
    Panasonic Q - For being shiny!
    Atari VCS - Loved the lines, the fake wood effect and the switches
    PC Engine + CD-ROM2 unit - For being the best looking of the CD-ROM add on units.
    Panasonic 3DO FZ-1 - Is front loading and doesn't look too plastic like.

    This one's easy: PC Engine (first model, white). Compact and timeless design. Pure beauty.

    SMS1 - such a classic 80's look, with its angular shape and the fabulous red panel with a flow diagram on how to use it.

    N64 - elegant, from a directly front view its shaped rather like an old mantlepiece clock

    VCS - love the faux wood panelling, if only I still had a TV with fake wooden panels to go with it!

    Neo Geo - simple design, but it really looks great, especially with its giant controller and a giant cart plugged in.

    Virtual Boy - such a great bit of kit to look at, which is good since playing the thing isn't so wonderful

    PC-FX.

    I also really like the "Funtastic Series" of coloured N64s - especially the green and orange ones.

    I'd have to say:

    N64
    Twin Famicom black ver.
    Sega Genesis 1 + Sega CD 1 + Power Base Converter is a good conversation piece too.
