Mac-Case Clone for PCs
An anonymous reader writes "Ever wanted a Mac case for your pc? Well this is your lucky day. Well sort of... you can read a preview of this yet-to-be-released case at hardware-unlimited.com." Smart design -- Now, if only this came in black ...
Wonder how long it'll be before Apple sues them for "look and feel" infringement, though?
The Dell Dimension 8200 is very similar to that. Push the release button, and you can open up the case just like the Apple cases.
I have a B&W G3 PowerMac. This is one of the older PowerMacs, but it runs OS X perfectly fine.
The case sucks horribly, except for the fact that it opens easily. First of all, it's totally proprietary. Second, there's no expansion room at all. Want a DVD-RAM and a CD-RW? Sorry. Can't do it. That's pathetic. Third, it doesn't have any nice features like front-accessible USB/Firewire, big power supply (oh yeah, that's proprietary, too), slide-out motherboard tray, multiple fan mounts, etc.
It's an aestheically pleasing case with horrible design. I much prefer my PC cases, even though they aren't spiffy colors or have handles.
If you moderate me as flamebait, at least consider that some people on this Mac site agree with me and give instructions on how to move your Mac motherboard to a quality PC tower. The article is old and references an obsolete product, but the same thing has been done to newer PowerMac motherboards.
I love this case! It doesn't look like something Apple would build, because IT LOOKS BETTER! You just don't like it because it's too cutting edge for you and Apple wouldn't have the courage to release something like this.
Of course, this is just my opinion. I happen to love this product too.
Insert simplistic political, ideological, or personal proselytization here.
