I can copy/paste your comments concerning PC Magazine's lack of credibility when they published unfavorable reviews of Apple products.
This should be fun...
Oh, what a clever ruse that shall be!

Sorta...
If you go to the review index you'll see that it's a bit narrower a category than just Consumer Desktops, it's actually PC Magazine's pick for " Coolest Consumer Desktop" which they define in the article as:
Sometimes, being practical is overrated. Taking a flying leap from the ordinary, even at the risk of going too far, is what inspires new ways of thinking and improving. That's certainly true in the world of PC design. The coolest, edgiest products may be too edgy for their own good (and some end up taking a bullet early on), but their short lives help advance the cause of industry innovation. For example, last year, the IBM TransNote notebook, with its paper and pen/stylus technology, and the Sony VAIO Slimtop Pen Tablet, a desktop PC with a tablet-style LCD, earned our Editors' Choice awards for innovation but died young because of low consumer demand. These products, however, helped move pen computing technology forward for the next generation of products.

Actually, the pen tablet (sony LX), was around for quite a while.
I almost bought one, but fell in love with the powermac.

That's for added cooling on the fly. Put an ice bucket on the CPU and you're all set.
