No, I know what you mean.
About two years back a designer was selling luxury cases...
one in bright red, can't remember the other color.
The cases were humped and somewhat conch-shell
inspired.  The fronts of all the drive bays were out-of-plane
with each other... i.e., as the case arched over hump-wards,
they recessed further and further towards the back of the
box.
They were featured in I.D. magazine.   If nothing else I guess
you could mail I.D....

And in general: why hasn't anyone else attemped this?
Designer cases seem easy to build (well, compared to
fabbing a new chipset) and seem like they'd sell well
in the luxury market.

Hm.
