The whole case feels restrictive. Removing or covering the eject button on the CD drive is supposed to be slick, but is irritating and sometimes troublesome if an application using the CD drive crashes / locks up and you cannot manually eject the CD. All the internals of the case are carefully sectioned off and locked away, as compared to nice and open ala a standard PC case. When I opened a G5 case I was stunned by how unfriendly and unaccomodating it seemed to any changes.
It's amazing how snobby your reply sounds. Really, it does.
Just because you consider something stylish doesn't mean anyone else done. I personally think the Mac cases look rather simple and bland. Hiding everything from the user doesn't suddenly make a case "artistic". And I could say that without making it seem like I am having some mid-30s life crisis.
Oh pulease, bland? its called minimalism - stripping something back to its necessary components without the need to having unnecessary creature comforts - when my computer sits on my desk, it shouldn't be the dominating factor on the desk.
I don't need things hidden from me, I ran my own computer business for many years, selling computers I assembled myself and maintained for customers, so no, I'm not oblivious to the 'IT Wizardry' which seems to be the forté of geeks on here - make their IT knowledge seem to be more special that it really is.
