Frog Design designed the Sparc 1 and many other pizzaboxes of the era.  I
believe they also did extensive work for Apple around the 1990 timeframe,
which makes sense.

On the other hand, there are only so many ways to design a pizzabox case.
The Sparc 1, Mac LC,  SGI Indy and HP 712 are all fairly similar overall.
