    Why would someone want to do this?
    (I accept the fact that you are most likely an old style troll, but I shall bite.)

    1) Mobile. It makes your system really easy to move around (ever been to a LAN party?)

    2) Can't complain about air circulation/cooling.

    3) You get dust bunnies in your system? Me too. Now, the dust bunnies are in the right place from the start!

    4) "Uh, Sure dear, I would love to vacuum the house, but I am using it to play Quake right now..."

    5) Its wholesome geeky fun.

    (Sure, people say that this Mac sucks, well, I will have to build a PC with Windows into a large fan, then you could say my system blows.)
