That's just prime
it will break if you touch it.
Looks like it just got out of a car accident with the Ugly Truck.
don't know about you guys but it looks to me like a lot of $ was spent on useless ID design "improvements". i'd recommend focusing on spec upgrades rather than this funky ID....
..and possibly flawed design features - such as if your using those usb ports at the top - then when you need to access the optical drives/card reader the front cover cant open because of the obstruction of whatevers in those usb ports..
I don't care what anyone says...that thing is just @$$ UGLY!
...Does the orange make it go faster??
ugly, fugly, pugly, pug fugly.
ugly ugly.
its like... E.T. Took a big, orange, metalic dump on the table isn't it O_o
That thing was running into the ugly stick really fast
I'd love it if that orange thing opened up making a fizzing sound and three red-colored dots appeared on my forehead... then and only then would I take this design seriously.
I think it looks like a sandcrawler. That's a paint job mod waiting to happen. "It belongs to the Jawa's that sold us Artoo and Threepio"
Is that a monitor in the background? I would love an Orange rimmed monitor like that..
Paint is your friend.
Yeah, the monitor looks quite ace, but it seems as though gaming machines MUST be ugly. I don't know if this is some sort of pre-requisite determined in some secret meeting between the different companies, but it seems like a trend.
For some reason, when I first looked at that without reading the title, I thought it was some sort of leather hand bag... weird.
"hands-on"?
"DON'T TOUCH"?
It looks like it's about to bust out of its case. Maybe it's just the angle, but it looks like pressure is building up inside and it's about to explode.
Attractive.
All it needs is a Deceptacon logo.
Decpticon
The third time is the charm, eh? LOL. Decepticon.
so much fail
repeat after me
DE-CE-P-TI-CON
decepticon :)
lol damnit skorpius, beat me by one second :p
Heh.
Sick!! I personally love it. I've been hunting the net these past few weeks trying to find an official release date and price! Am getting the high spec one for sure.
Love it.
It looks like a garbage disposal unit. Does make warning beep sounds when it is moved backwards?
Looks rugged and ready for rough handling...
Thats NOT good.
Ahhh come on, prime opportunity to photoshop the predator into the pic, especially with the no touch sign :)
I like the look of it (just don't like the orange colour, white or blue would have been nicer), but the design is nice.
But whats the point of discussing this? I'll probably never buy it cuz its not "worth" whatever price tag they'll put on this. Well this is my opinion anyway.
This thing looks like the equivalent of a Honda Acura all decked out with a gnarly spoiler and some "comb your hair in the reflection" chrome rims. It just shouts, "Look at me, I'm special!" I'd be embarrassed to have a rig like that sitting next to my desk.
A Honda Acura??? Where in the world do you live that Honda makes an Acura?
I personally like the case design. The color is so-so, but I like the rest of it. Now if I can only find the case for sale somewhere. =) I dont have any interest in purcasing an overpriced Acer just for the case. I would rather just shoe-horn my system into the case. =)
It reminds me of a Hummer. Ick.
This computer must be at least 300 meters tall because you can barely see the Engadget Chinese business card situated next to it.
Hold on a second, last story on this product you were all droning on about how awesome it looked. Now you all hate it? Hmm. =/
Nicest case I've ever seen!!!
