To shove a PS in the cube would probably cause heat-related issues, I
bet the Apple Cube had an external power supply as well. Also, since
this is headed for a SOHO-like environment, it will most likely go on
an unprotected power line, so making the PS a field replaceable item
seems like a good design (to me).

It also convieniently supports one international design, instead of an
auto-switching power supply that would increase cost and size/heat...

Of course, the above is MHO...
