When combined with the Core/Core 2 chips, and their recent IDF announcements, I'm really liking Intel more and more these days.

AMD seems to be spinning their wheels by comparison.

"Coolness" contest? The "Everybody but Apple" computer makers are being challenged by INTEL® to make a better looking computer... PING!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

My neighbor is a Industrial Designer. A company will give him the specs on a machine and he designs a really cool housing for it. He moved to Eureka from San Diego a couple of years ago. Does the work at home and sends it via the Internet...

I built a really hot looking computer from pond scum and old ice tea jugs. It'll run any program as long as it isn't Apple or Windows, and when I break wind, the little birdies come and sit on my shoulder because I'm just that much better than all of you Macbots.

My Dell laptop itself works fine, but the power supply burns out about every six months. I'm on my fourth or fifth one. Dell always ships me a new one promptly at no cost, but I think I'll splurge and buy from a different company for my next one (in a couple of months).

Is this even worthy of an article?
pricegrabber.com has something like 1050 cases, plus specialty sites have several thousand more high end cases.

The Sony Style LS series already fits all requirements for the contest.

Everytime a PC maker tries this they fall on their face.

Anyway, it's not the style but the virii. I like XP except it's too much aggravation to keep it malware free.

Good luck finding the equivalent of the Ives team out there, which understands not only the looks, but the engineering, manufacturing and materials to make the whole thing a coherent product.

This is my entry.

Of course, she'll run OSX because if she runs Gatesware it'll be all work and no play, crashes at the worst times, and them pesky viruses.

My crummy Gateway desktop finally died and I just got my 24" Imac to replace it. It's jaw-droppingly beautiful and is, of course, a Mac so it's a pleasure to use. Life is sweet (except the part about paying the credit card bill).
