PC media server in a Mac case

Retro tech is what all the cool kids are into now, and Iain Sharp has cleverly crammed a media server PC with mini-ITX components into a vintage Macintosh SE/30 case. Determined to keep that classic look, he installed a black & white 9-inch LCD screen, but the insides are all modern: a 40GB hard drive, slot-loading DVD-ROM (he had to widen the old school floppy disk slot), S-Video out, and the usual USB 2.0 and Firewire ports. And definitely bound to confuse people, he installed an emulator to fo perfect that 68k Mac look. What is it about people turning Macs into PCs into Macs?

Why would you put in a B&W LCD when you could just as easily change the color to Black and White and have the option of having color?
