Which MSX has the best design [round 1]

Ascended (15187)

So here we are at the first round of a new megapoll: Our search for the best looking MSX computer in the world. A grand total of 56 different MSX computers were nominated. 4 rounds of voting on the forums and a frontpage poll will decide which one has the best design.

So, you're new to the mega-polling system? No problem, it's very simple! Below is a list of 28 pairs of MSX computers. Your job is to divide three points between each pair. So with the pair

computer A - computer B

the following scores are valid:

3 - 0 ;computer A - computer B
2 - 1 ;computer A - computer B
1 - 2 ;computer A - computer B
0 - 3 ;computer A - computer B

It is NOT permitted to give halve points, the total points divided each game pair HAS to be 3 points. You will have to make this decision each pair, until you completed the entire list. Mixing pairs with others is not allowed. Only completely valid submissions will be counted. This round closes july 26th, 23:59.

Keep in mind, this megapoll is all about looks and not about specifications. Thanks to Sonic_aka_T we now have a complete list of links to pictures of the first votesheet. So why don't you have a quick peek at that one first? Here it is:

I missed the nomnations round - a pity - would have included the Al-Alamiah AX-270 which is a beauty, probably the most beautiful MSX machine to my opinion. Oh well..
I will vote later, BTW, www.msxmuseumbox.com is probably down until August 1... as the bandwith limit I have on the site passed 2Gb this month. Am in discussion to get this limit to a higher amount, so be patient if you want to see all models on this site.
