Compare the beastie to this:

http://www.apple.com/imac/gallery/front.html

the thing is kind of thick and clunky
looking to me. It's like they decided to really miniaturize it but
stopped halfway. (Not that I wouldn't take a new iMac G5 if someone
wanted to give me one. It's be a fair bit faster than the G4 tower
I'm using to type this message.)



Thick and clunky?? It's 2" thick. It's the world's thinnest desktop
computer, except for those used by all the alien living among us, their
cool technology we never get to see cuz we're just backward, hillbilly
humans living like cavemen in their eyes, if they really have eyes ...
(I just finished an entire weekend working on a soundtrack for a horror
movie ;)

And inside that 2" is everything, screen, DVD burner, hard drive, even
the power supply. No wall wart. The things supposed to be damn quiet as
well.

This form factor is what everyone will be shipping in a year or two
except for the low priced spreads.

Everything in one box? You have no idea of the deep joy you will
experience when one little bit of that goes wrong. You will stand
gazing at your one box, and wishing earnestly that you could - please
- just unplug the offending bit and replace it. You will go to your
local PC store and see all those replacement hard drives, power
supplies, cases and other bits costing almost no money and you will
think "but it is only two inches thick; that makes me a winner,
surely?".

Of course, if you really have so little space available... Still, the
choice is yours.
