Very well said Steve. A lot of enphasis is placed on how a computer physically looks these days, but how often do most people actually look at their computer case?

When they press the on button, and when the use the drive to insert or remove a disc. Other than that they don't. Any most cases are under the desk out of sight anyway.

I must admit that my main PC does have a nice looking case and it is visible to anyone sitting in the room unless you are sitting at the actual desk, but I didn't actually purchase the case based on it's asthetic qualities. I picked it due to its layout, build quality and design.
