This kind of computer decoration BS really makes me want to punch  
something (or someone). Computers are getting like hot-hatchback  
cars. Next they'll be customizing the fans with fuel atomizer jets  
and pilot lights so they can have flames coming out of them when they  
are revving up waiting to start an online game of CounterStrike

Can you tell I'm a fan of understated external designs with highly  
efficient internal layouts?
