SJasperson writes "At last, you don't need to mess around with Dremel tools and Lexan (and destroy your valuable data) to get a clear window in your hard drive. Western Digital has released the Raptor X 150GB SATA hard drive. 10,000 RPM, 4.6ms seek time, 16MB buffer, and, yes, a clear window so you can see what's going on inside. Made out of a special polycarbonate lens with an ESD-dissipative coating, the lens is designed to let case modders and their groupies see the drive platters and heads without sacrificing data integrity."

Nobody makes fun of Apple for going out of their way to make iPods look good, because they are good. The same may apply here.

I don't know, I think iPod = Civic holds true. Very plain-looking, but reliable and functional. iPod skins = ricey mods, functionless (and even impeding function sometimes, some skins caused overheating problems) but some people swear they make it look better and more unique.
