How Computers Should Look

Browsing through Mini-ITX.com, I'm often struck by the thought that this is how computers should look. I'm sick of beige (or black or silver) boxes with giant monitors, cables everywhere and ugly peripherals. Computers are meant to be tiny, powerful and, if they're visible, they should be pleasing to the eye.

Ideally, your computer should integrate so well with your house (or other habitat) that it is entirely invisible and you hardly notice it. Failing that, it should at least look good. I doubt there are many computer manufacturers worldwide who aim to make their cases out of polished wood or in truly appealing shapes that differ from the standard box.

PS - Perhaps Apple are the innovators here.
PPS - I feel so dirty for saying that.
