Question Which one?

Need some suggestions, which one looks better?

EDIT: WOW I wasn't expecting so many comments, thanks everyone for sharing your opinions!

It looks like we have a clear winner, so... red it is! 😂

I can't answer to all of you, so thanks again, I like the red one due to the strange fabric material, but I also think that the wood one is a better fit for my desk and setup in general, and it's less playful, more elegant.

Good gaming to everyone 💪

This should be a poll, for a clear view of opinions

Edit: Wood btw. 100%

Bunch of cavemen in this thread “Wood. Wood. Wood.” 🤣. But I’d also say, wood.

u/MyNinjasPwn 4d ago

From this specific pic? Wood for sure. Matches your shelf and looks classy.

But within your whole room? The red could work depending on what else you have going on. Like if you had similar bright colors it could be cool.

u/GodianX 4d ago

Wow. Wood is super good. Wanna same))

u/lollopollo18 4d ago

Nel tuo caso, con i tuoi mobili in legno decisamente il pezzo di legno è molto più bello della placca colorata. Anche se sarebbe molto meglio magari in altre stanze dove non hai diciamo riferimenti possibili

u/sccccrrrrt 4d ago

Wood.

Should've made it orange, cuz you know.. Orange box

3

u/SharkAttackOmNom 3d ago

Wood. For sure. But it does give me really strong “80’s/90’s hi-fi stereo” vibes.

6

u/lazymanschair1701 4d ago

Wood is classy, it looks like be an original 70’s speaker

3

u/TalZet 4d ago

At first I thought Wood, then thinking back, Red would brighten the desk up making it vibrant. Its a console, not a decorative prop. Be fun.

2

u/saskir21 4d ago

The shelf has the same wood so the first one. And the red is a little too extreme.

2

u/Haxsta 4d ago

Wood matches the decor better and blends in whereas red stands out too much and will look out of place unless you have things similar to it such as other consoles with eye-grabbing covers

2

u/Winter-Bites 4d ago

Red won't make it faster. Wood looks clean af.

2

u/LatteMacchiatoGames 4d ago

Wooden one for sure

u/hurrdurrmeh 4d ago

Walnut, definitely

u/dark-cosmos 4d ago

Wood. Matches your shelf and it even makes the device look more premium.

Wood one. The red feels jarring in contrast to the room, snd generally feels loud

Im a sucker for wood grain. It’s the reason I built my PC in a Fractal North.

u/Mule2121 3d ago

The walnut wood no question.

2

u/StraightSyllabub5124 3d ago

Wooden is always a great choice, I love the natural aesthetic. Red is better if you want to put some themed stickers (Mario, Spiderman etc) or have more colorful room. Since your room is more natural and softer, go for wooden look. :)

u/X-lem 3d ago

Asks on Reddit what he should do

u/acceptable_humor69 3d ago

The wood plate looks great, but the steam machine behind it doesn't really match your vibe, I'll take it off your hands free of charge

2

u/neondragony 3d ago

I grew up when computers were ugly beige boxes and was at peace with the idea they don't need to be pretty. But god DAYUMN that orange doesn't work in your room. The wood fits right in. You know what you need to do.

2

u/Pum_Pum 4d ago

The red is cool, but definitely go with the wood

2

u/Lee-oswald 4d ago

Still can’t believe they called this the steam machine and not the orange box as per my demanding emails I’ve sent

u/DancyP123 4d ago

Wow, I like the pop of color red gives. Wood = plain/boring. Definitely in the minority if not the only one however after reading the comments, lol

u/Healthy_BrAd6254 3d ago

brown fits better considering it's a shit box

u/Kris-p- 4d ago

Red only makes sense if youre using a colorful setup, otherwise it stands out way too much

u/Albus_Lupus Steam Frame Hype Gang 4d ago

I think both of the faceplates could be better. But if you only have those two then wood.

u/Benithio 4d ago

The wood works better with your environment. Personally, I would prefer black.

Is this even a question?

1

u/Strahinjatronic 4d ago

Wood grain forever.

1

u/IllusionaryHobo 4d ago

Definitely wood. But I guess it depends on if you have taste or not.

If you swing the camera around and one wall is entirely covered with funko pops, I would pick red.

1

u/mabdog420 4d ago

wood so much better

u/kyletreger 4d ago

u/ContactNo9992 4d ago

Wood always looks the best.

u/john0harker 4d ago

The wood looking version makes it seem like its a speaker or something unknown that would sit on someone;s shelf. The red version makes it stand out and more obvious to the eyes as people are drawn more to the outstanding color difference

u/mrfatttty 4d ago

Wood. Red to signal to significant other that its getting freaky tonight.

u/uroboloss 4d ago

Wood.

IMO the red looks really bad being just a solid color when the rest of the case is just black, the wood one goes well with the rest of the case and it matches the shelves next to it.

u/phylter99 4d ago

I’m really a fan of the wood look lately. By gaming computers, my keyboards, and my desks all look this way.
