I, personally, like it and would definitely use it to house my own PEESEE or even macintosh guts. I can imagine though, that either the case alone isn't for sale, or is a wee bit expensive for my *ahem* taste.Looks so cool though. Official 68k videographer

It's about time Apple used an "Air Cleaner" case design for Macs, that's what the lil' suckers spend all the time they're plugged in doing . . . collecting dust!jt ™.

Just stick a paper-towel on whatever intake vents you want to filter from and probably change the towel once a week :P alot of the visible particles in the air will be gone I also think that this'd make a great new enclosure (some aprts of it at least) for Apple.... they've been using the same one with almost no modification to the shape/size for a LONG TIME.

. . . but the "tower" design is NOT butt-ugly!  The alien case just doesn't appeal to me, tho I can see why you like it, the Mac designs usually have a broader appeal. jt ™.

If we can go to a design like that of the 8600 I'd be happy A bit more modern, IE no floppy drive, ect ect.I just think that if Apple could create a new case that isn't as... OLD as the one they're using even today in the MDD macs.... I liked the BW G3... and the MDD and quicksilver are OK... A case that has more drive bays, more slot holes and better cooling than the ones we use now would be cool also Official 68k videographer

What Apple is going to do is make the PowerMac g4's a brushed aluminum appearance so the Powerbooks match the colour.Everyhting has got to match remember

Just as long as they use a different case. I personally would like to see apple try to slim down the size of at least one of their systems. IE a big model and a small model Official 68k videographer
