IMHO transparency is a lame gimmick used to draw in the less technical of us into glorifying a product as being more advanced then it really is due to it's visible PCB.
Jesse: and you're saying you don't appreciate the technology we have these days? Besides, if people like transparent cases (that counts you out of course), then it wouldn't be a gimmick but a feature. I like it because the internal can make an interesting appearance. See? It's inner beauty mate. ;)

Does nobody make transparent cases any more?

On top of that it just looks plain ugly ;)

I don't mean to be a dick but seriously, as someone who works in a datacenter I don't tend to see server internals (or any other PCB) as beautiful.

Yeah, transparency would be just perfect :)

Jesse: I feel your pain now, but you must remember that the EEE PC will not have many cables inside it, unlike the server boxes.
Tell you what: perhaps you would fancy a gold-plated version? Forget about the cost, just say you want it. We all do at some point in life. ;)

How about 'legacy' applesque semi-transparant colors then?
But that might get too costly if you want it sturdy enough.
