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.

Seems disappointingly innocuous to me.
