it looks like a monitor on a CD drive on an upside-down plate.

[Foucault]

that is the ugliest thing I had ever seen.

with all the good industrial design hosues around, and all the willing students that could have entered a competition, how in the world did they come up with THAT? The old 1 piece presario looked better. The old Monorail PC looked better. It makes Sony's 1 piece fold down pc look sexy. It makes the iMac look that much MORE modern & progressive. I mean, its plastic, it can be almost anyshape they want.

[Kid Red]

Looks like R2-D2s cousin from the next star wars episode.

[Mr. Anderson]

Not very impressive....and for a 'pro' machine at that.

I could understand not wanting it to look like an iMac, but there is so much they could do that would look so much better....

[dieselg4]

where do you suppose they got that IBM clicky type keyboard from?

[Sun Baked]

I'd rather buy one of the Purple Barney PC than that thing, and anything Barney related tends to get swiss cheesed around here. ;)

[radhak]

i think they want to get an award - for the ugliest computer.

what a gawdawful ugly piece of ....! :confused:

[frank5050]

That's a pretty sorry machine.

And speaking of ugly, how about the Gateway Profile 5 versions of all-in-one PC's? They've probably been discussed here before but I saw a new magazine ad for one last night and it made me burst out laughing it was so ugly.

Forget about speed & features, who's winning the ugly race?

[Doctor Q]

At least the mouse seems to plug into the keyboard, instead of running two cables from the keyboard/mouse to the computer. Just as Macs are moving from one cable to no cables, PC makers may finally be catching on to the wisdom of having one instead of two.

[Frisco]

I'd get one, but where is the 20" display ;)

it looks like nothing...

it would be funnier to see the sales graphics of this crap!..

[Dreadnought]

Besides the fact that they ript it of from the Imac, they also mention it! And what about the processorspeeds....

[manitoubalck]

hmm

[Rezet]

Yeah, That's pretty bad...

{And that's coming from me, one who thinks alienware cases are cool looking. Just too big) :rolleyes:

I suppose for it's intended purpose, it's okay. I think they're aiming for the POS (take your pick of meanings ;)) market. Small-ish, low power, no need for expansion. That's a market where looks don't matter at all. Except at the Apple stores of course :D

Product of sums? I didn't know there was a market for that. (It was hard not to be amused when my digital systems prof would term such equations as POS with a straiught face):D

[thehuncamunca]

that's pretty ugly not to mention underpowered at only 1Ghz and only a CDROM drive

[tazo]

jesus christ, any machine with a built-in flat panel is not copying the imac...jeez...

just like every modern-day car maker "copied" the Model t...

[Macmaniac]

Its not even fugly, its downright ugly, I could to better if I was blind folded with a butter knife.....

[1macker1]

Damn that's sure is ugly.
