I don't know what "AMI" stands for here (searching online finds way too many possible interpretations of this acronym). >> Not sure whether that means it's a good fit for your use case. >> [ And not only because I haven't watched TS4. ] > It could be made to fit if it doesn't, but to see it everyday as an > unattractive object Ah, so you find it aesthetically unpleasing. Obviously, there's no arguing it (personally, I never want to see my desktop computer anyway (as opposed to its screen and keyboard), so hide it anyway, whether pretty or not). But fashion changes. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple comes out one year with a device that comes with a clear case that shows the underlying PCBs and stuff and then manages to sell that as super-elite-cool ;-) Stefan
