Is it just me or does that case look a lot like an IBM IntelliStation  
Pro from a little while ago?  I thought some of the IntelliStation  
POWER machines also had looked like that, but either I'm recalling  
incorrectly or IBM refreshed that design.  But hey, if that keeps the  
cost down, then I'd be all for it.

Speaking of cost, what I can't find is the price.
