IIRC, he presented a prototype that was much more radical, and a lot got lost in mass production. In the end it was a standard case with a few rounded edges.

Well, a PC case that needs to accommodate quite a few different standardized drives that must be accessible from the outside isn't really an ideal case [no pun intended] for an extravagant design approach. Apple did a much better job at that with the iMac and G3/G4/G5 tower designs by hiding the drives behind flaps or custom faceplates.

Honestly looking at the photos linked by tcmb, they're not even close to the ugliest PC cases you could buy.
