| 513893 | 2007-01-10 04:47:00 | Oh .. yup :p I have seen a hybrid before, a friend bought a Compaq from Noel Leeming and it had interchangeable colors you can pull and pop on like red, blue, gray and other colors :thumbs: (behind a dominant beige case) :D True, many of the PC manufactures are starting to realise that they can only cut PC prices so much before their profit margin disappears and they start losing money due to the competition being able to charge more. What they haven't quite figured out yet is that there is more to healthy profit margins than just a fancy PC case. |

Clever engineering. Clean design. Running cooler chips and several small fans to minimise fan noise so that your machine runs silent except under heavy loads. Enabling clear airflow inside the case. |

| 513895 | 2007-01-10 06:24:00 | Well beige or black pretty much unless your talking customized Alienware boxes. You have obviously never paid close attention to a G3 iMac G4 Cube or Tower, G5 Mac Pro Tower, G5 iMac etc what a load of Bollocks There are plenty of other case colors around, check out this link and click on "cases". http://www.tastech.co.nz/ Pink,Blue,Silver,"black","beige",clear seethrough Many e-tailers in NZ have a selection of colours beyond beige and black. Other manufactures have been customising cases well before Alienware. One of my second PC's has a red factory case (since annoyed me and I spray painted it black). |

My point was that it is not just the case or case colour that makes a great computer. It is the design and engineering of what goes on inside that can effect the shape that you are able to create an ergonomic design. The performance that can be achieved from effective heat dispersal, reduction in excessive fan noise from incorporating several small fans as opposed to one large fan. |

I was not responding to any of that, just your case color statement. |

| 513898 | 2007-01-10 07:05:00 | I might have been a bit too limited in my initial response to the original beige box comment previously posted in terms of available case covers other than beige. I was initially responding to Nomad's comment about the vast selection of case colours available. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 513899 | 2007-01-10 07:15:00 | The colour and make of the case makes a lot of difference in how good the computer is. A black one is faster than a pink one. Yeah right! What a lot of nonsense some people talk. |

| 513900 | 2007-01-10 07:20:00 | JJJJJ, that just makes it look flash. How flash depends on the individuals opinion. Looks don't have anything to do with speed or perfomance. Speed and performance are dictated by engineering, hardware, technical specs, industrial design and component set up as well as selecting the appropriate horse for the appropriate course. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

I was initially responding to Nomad's comment about the vast selection of case colours available. well fair enough Anyway, we all know red is fastest, due to the way light shinning off it emmits an electromagnetic pulse increasing the frequency of the components inside which improves the slipstream properties of the time space continuum. |
