For starters, my case has an Antec True 480W power supply.

Ok, my $30 case has a 450W power supply...you've got 30W on mine there...

Your $30 case probably has room for one, maybe two case fans.

2 fans (not including the power supply)...

My computers don't die, no matter how hot the summers get.

I didn't say anything about skimping on cooling...this case only has room for 2 fans that I see...and I haven't seen a system that needs more than 2 good case fans.

Your $30 case probably wouldn't hold half the motherboards I've got

It's a Mid-Tower case. And so is the "MacPC" case.

you get what you pay for.

And in this case you get "looks" and that's all...you either get more features or better quality at that price.

If you put down $60 for a motherboard, $20 for your RAM...

Agreed.

$30 for your case, I pity the stability of your computer.

Disagree.

My $30 case is similar to This One...which is all the quality you should expect from this system. If you need a better case, you should buy one, but this one offers nothing over my $30 case.

A Windows version of this design is available here. Running Windows ME, though it couls probably be easily upgraded to Windows XP.

The Video card is an onboard Trident Blade 3D using shared memory. It also has 1 AMR slot and 1 PCI slot.

It's being manufactured by Future Fower, who settled their "trade dress" lawsuit with Apple some time ago. Another lawsuit over the same design is highly unlikely.

Future Power are the ones who build the machine and the hardware, not OEone. Future Power has already settled their lawsuit with Apple. (Article Here) The main difference in the two machines is that the OEone unit has a 17" monitor, as opposed to the iMac's 15".

The hardware manufacturer did get sued by Apple. They reached a settlement in May 2001 which prevents them from selling a 15" iMac lookalike but allows them to produce a 17" unit, which is what OEone is selling.

In case anyone wants to read a little more on the actual case used for this, here is a link to the actual manufacture of the case Click here it is made by Future Power, and I have to say, they do make a excellant case. (being a distributor for them I am a little biased though) I have this exact same case without the watercooling. Nice setup from them and a nice case. Think they did i great job
