It looks too 1998. The Bondi-like plastic is too "old style" for Apple to use now.

Aside from that it looks pretty good. I like the easy motherboard access.

too 1999

I just realised someone else thought this was dated, a year more than me it seems.

Well it had the right idea, but no company made a drive that small with no fan and basically no mother board to have a CPU on because it would run NOTHING. 😛

looks decent tho.

His stuff has been around for a while, but I see that he's done quite a bit more recently. Nice stuff and nicely done.

Okay, I'll elaborate: It looks like a 1950's lamp. My parents had one like it, and it sat on top the acrylic endtable. Both were deemed sickening during the classy 70's.
Retro sucks.

that does look a bit outdated now-a-days...🙄
but they are well done. perhaps the person now has better things to do with their time or we'd be seeing updated hiMacs.😛 😀
