i REALLY don't get it. are people's panties in a twist about their stereo cabinets not being the right size or slim changing the case of their unit?
PEOPLE! buy a new cabinet if it's a problem - the bestbuy-chrome-metal-tube-and-glass cabinet you bought in the 80's needs to be updated anyway. better yet get rid of the tape deck vcr you use once a month we recently made these breakthroughs using space shuttle technology called music cds and dvds. if all else fails take notice that the new case looks nice enough to...>horror-of-all-horrors>...put it ON TOP OF your stupid cabinet! i've put my order in for a sb3 just to spite all of the whining little b!tches with 'cabinet problems' - if i hear one more complaint i'm taking a sledgehammer to my sb2 and i'll post the pictures here just to rub it in your face that there is one less sb2 available to solve your earth-shattering-music-experience-ending problems.
