Tell me what you think, they claim this is a Mac style case for PC's, I guess they think it reminds them a bit of Apple styling.

I like this case. It is 90% clear!
As far as Apple goes, I've had enough of the plastic coating and white nonsense. Give me some sleek matte titanium with a shiny chrome Apple logo (a la XServe)!
Ask yourself... What kicks ass about mac cases?
- ok... they are stylish
- FOLD-down motherboard tray for easy upgrading!!
ever since the 7500, macs have DOMINATED the PC world in the accessibility area. And yes, Ive installed ram in an 8500 before but I dont count that one
I would guess most peoples beefs about mac cases are the lack of a second optical drive bay.
PC cases are designed around standards that were formed with little or nothing to do with the end-usability. therefore it takes a ton of effort for a manufacturer to make a decent case.
my 2cents
Dell for instance has the clam shell design on all their desktops. You do not need any tools to pop in (and out) new HDs, optical drives, PCI cards, and of course RAM. Everything is inside the case is designed to pop in and out without using any tools.
I upgraded my cousin's Dell computer for her. We swapped the Zip drive to a lower bay, upgraded her HD and added 2 PCI cards in under 10min without using any tools at all. I was amazed how easy everything slid in and out and just clicked into place as if you were plugging it in. If the upgrade isn't a Dell upgrade, all you have to do is attach the provided rails to the new device to snap it into place. I also noticed that the new Dells are extremely quiet. They claim that they use some new case design where the HD, fan and power supply are muffled - and it's true.
Here are some examples:

Don't want to pee-pee on your bonfire from too high up, but have you looked in a powermac case anytime recently? Don't look too different from any other pc, brother, that motherboard looks pretty ATX from where I'm standing...
And I've left knuckle flesh inside every Mac case from the IIx onwards... and that includes the G4.
Ain't that the truth, brother, oh yeah.
Unless Jobs is blind all of the sudden and has started drving a pinto, the case will look nothing like that turd!!!
