Is this referring to nice-looking cases or most convenient to upgrade?
Personally I'd have to say the Sun pizza boxes... not just because this is
SunRescue... sleek, has corners... easy to change components inside (once
one figures out the science to the intuitional lock/release Sun
mechanisms).. those Lunchboxes are kinda snazzy as well.. I got to have a
look at an Ultra10 today... just doesn't look as nice as these old
machines (Then again, I always thought the Atari 400 and 800 were kinda
cute... and the 800 was upgradeable rather easily).
