I was in Frys the other day and saw a case with the completely opposite design philosophy. It's called a "strike-x air" by Aerocool. If I had the space on my desk for it, this would be a serious contender for me. Hmmm... Open air or trash can. I actually really like both concepts. (no sarcasm).
The Apple Pro is awesome, it better be for that price, but it looks strange to me. The pic you posted looks pretty cool.
