I personally dont think it makes any difference at all - plus Gigabytes ego is already big enough without them having to go through the effort of plugging additional dead components in that are donated from other manufacturers as they would have to say it was a 'team effort' rather then 'look at me!! I did all this!!!' and the probably dont want to do that as its all about Gigabyte and no one else but Gigabyte.

they probably didnt consult any of the other manufacturers for additional dead components but imho having a cpu or ram plugged in makes very little difference in how it looks aesthetically so there probably wouldnt be any point

Pretty cool, I will have to look for that next time. But I still prefer the Hello Kitty gate in terminal 2. Hello Kitty rocks.
