Actually, I had heard of that back when it first came out and remember the translucent looking shell quite vividly. I assumed it never came out over here in that style because Apple would have sued them for copying the G4 cube chassis look.
As if MS did have enough of a fiasco with their 15% + failure rate on the hardware they made themselves, now they're going to allow 3rd party? I just can't believe they'd be that stupid. Generating sales with cheap crap is NOT going to gain you anything in the long-term.

ZING! Nice one Dale!

Wow, someone else called Dale, who - judging by their spelling - is British.

What you been smoking Nate? 3rd party != cheap crap
If it were done I seriously doubt it would be done with cheap crap hardware.
