[Ken Hansen]

Isn't that (essentially) a Mac Cube?

Nope.  It must be metal, and it must be a semi decent quality of metal.
Perhaps with real wood highlights, and or buttons, and track lighting in
the room this sculptor sits in.  And darn it, get rid of the flouresent
lights.

OK, here is a plan.  Picture that 3" cube.  Now, imaging a wooden
(whatever it is that the quality scrabble pieces are made out of) button
on the front, and when it is on operating normally, a blue LED glows
beneth the machine.  Connect that to a 18" flat panel display, mat black.
A USB keyboard like a notebooks, with a leather wrapped wrist rest.  And
the speakers should be like the bang & olfson towers, except small enough
to fit nicely next to the display, and perhaps with a sub woofer to help
out.  Put a high quality mic in the display and let the user have either a
mouse, or a touch tablet and a custom made wacom (metal casing, like the
casing on a Compaq Armada M700).  What more could anyone want?  Well,
maybe a slightly larger case to hold a DVD Rom.

Or, maybe we should just hide the computer in a desk drawer.
