At first, I thought it was the back too (and I wondered why would they put a speaker in the back?), but after I came back to this thread by mistake today, I noticed the power button and the Apple. It's scary.

Where's my NMI/CUDA button? What are those grills in the front? speed grills? since I'm assuming the left side is for HDs, 'cuz I don't wanna run my HD vertically when Raided in a 10, 01, 5, or 50 configuration!
2 super drives and 1 cdr? I want a CDR, a super drive, and a blue-lazer-writeable drive!
nForce 2? that's sooo old...put an nForce 4 with my GeForce 8!
What's Intel doing in my box? It should at least be an Ultra Sparc or POWER4/5!
One thing even the current towers have, Front Speaker Ports!!!
Make sure the thing can be open on both sides, or better yet, openable like one of those cardboard boxes!
Oh yearh, How can i forget? shared buses! I'm not going to tolerate that for sure! each peripheral must have it's own bus directly to the CPUs! (RAM goes on one, HD on another, etc) (I can just imagine how much of a PIA it is to implement such a CPU  )

And no integrated Gigabit Airport or 10000/1000/100/10bT Ethernet!
What a cheap hunk of junk! Even the cheapest PC's have ethernet!

Man, that actually doesn't look too bad. I always thought that front ports, whether it's audio, USB, or firewire, were ugly, but now that we got those intakes, I think the look works cuz they now complement each other.
