wow absolutely amazing, i love the shape of this. nice internals, no ideas on cost? id reckon 2k.
Its designed like their laptops., which I like, altholugh I read a lot of horror stories based on the drivers for the laptops and problems., with them.
This is a very nice system, although it will be priced very high for most people I would imagine.
That front panel looks like it might break. My brother breaks everything so I would imagine people would need to be careful with this. it is pivoting on a spring?
