i have minimal brand loyalty... though i have bought the same model of microsoft mouse twice (first one was a victim of a series of accidents and the left mouse button started to give me problems)

i also have some level of brand loyalty to seagate for harddrives

there's alot of sony in my house but it's purely coincidence... (my PCDP, CDP, stereo receiver, HDTV, cameras (both still and video), and one of my sets of earbuds are all sony and i have a PS2, PS3, and PSP... i used to have a PS1 but i sold it after i got my PS2)

Asus - reliable mobo and great customer service
Western Digital -no WD hdd I ever owned ever died on me
Canon - cheap second handed printer inks & and their flip screen lcd camera, not as many nikon have that option.
NAD - amps
Enermax - computer power supplies
Sennheiser - the only brand of headphone I ever own that consistently isn't sharp in the high end to my ears. Basically they tone down the trebles.
E-MU sound cards (addicted)
Toyota - it started up even on a snowy day.
Microsoft wired keyboards - keys layout that are actaully sensical
Lucas Art - advanture games, almost all the games they make are classic, but not recently.

boycotted brand: sony, archos, walmart

Like:
Intel CPUs and chipsets
