But that was apples FU: Pay us a premium because we are good at asthetics.

Thos machines sucked -- Look at SGI their cases were stellar in design even if the guts were mediocre RISC and difficult OS... and they were like 25K for a desktop and 500K for a rack-sized server.

When we built the Presidio complex for Lucas (I was the data center designer) they were throwing out $500,000 SGI racks and even turned a few of them into keg-erators... SGI had the BEST physical case designs.... ( I suppose thats why the tech museum is on the SGI campus)
