| Not surprising....I just find it funny how every PC person craps on Apple but ends up using cases and other technologies designed or first introduced by Apple. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!

| Actually, I like the third case on the french site linked from MacBidouille. At least it's not a flat-out copy. The wheels, though nice-looking, could have functioned better if they were actual casters, is it would make the case easier to move around.

| Yep. And also got to add: There ARE way uglier PC enclosures. ;-) I've got two beige ones here at home, I can tell...

| I always figured the reason for the beige would be that it fit into offices nicely since most had white or off-white walls. This way, it fit with the furniture. But nowadays, it seems that the PC (this includes the Mac) has moved from being a business tool to more of an entertainment device, hence the change in colors and designs. Loot at your everyday entertainment appliances. Though they were never beige, they still kind of fell to the back like the rest of the furniture back in the day. Not anymore...look at all the TVs out there now, either in silver or black. Same goes for DVDs and VCRs. We do have to thank Stevie and Apple for the change in colors and designs. Look at what he did with the NeXT machines, and look at some of the Macs that have come out in the last decade. Great stuff!
