Take the Apple symbol off the G5 and I don't think "Mac" - too charmless. Ask

Well hell - I don't see any other cases out there that look REMOTELY like it. The all aluminium construction and solid blocky appearance suggests industrial, heavy duty, POWERR!! This is what the machine is supposed to stand for. Think about this - you'd never mistake a ford transit or a Volvo FH12 truck for anything else, yet they don't exactly ooze charm ans sophistication, yet they are ever popular and get the damn job done without looking butt ugly in the process.
You catch my drift?
