Favorite console designs

Mine is the American and European Saturn. Particularly those and not the Japanese model(s) simply because they're black, although I prefer the Japanese Saturn logo. I love the symmetrical design without protrusions, the carved lines and the balance it strikes between bulkiness (not as huge as the original Xbox or the Xbox One) and "presence" (bigger than the Dreamcast, which I find a tad too small).

I have a harder time choosing between the first and second models:

I guess that, while I like the ventilation holes (and the non-flat surface of the lower side right below them) and little glossy finish near the upper front-end of the model 1, the model 2 has more dynamic carved lines on its upper side, the SEGA logo is centered (extra points for symmetry) and the round power and reset buttons are more functional than the oval ones, plus I don't like the font they used for the "Power" and "Access" text. But still, it's a very very close call.
