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.
