I am reluctant to use the adjective sexy to describe a computer case, but
in terms of attractive looking computer cases my list would be something
like this (in no particular order):
Apple Mac Cube
BeBox
Next Cube
Amiga 3000 Desktop
iMac G4
TI 99/4a
Cray 2
Twentieth Anniversary Mac
SGI Tezra
Mindset Computer M1001

I have to agree. It's a little more forgivable when you look at this being
a UK paper and they probably picked computers that were popular there.
I've never heard anyone call a Sinclair anything sexy. A paper in the US
would have a completely different list. To me the only one that really
belongs on that list is the NeXT. The Cray is nice but, such expensive
limited production stuff shouldn't really be considered. Otherwise it would
probably be impossible to pick ten.
Yes, 2 of the computers listed are not on
topic (MacBook Air &
Playstation 3, which is arguable if it's even a computer); one is barely
on topic (Mac Cube).
And there is only 1 big computer, the Cray 2. Still an interesting
read. But I'm curious as to what others should be on the list? No
bickering, we all know everyone has their own opinion...
If possible, please include a link to a pic for me to enjoy.... :)

The Cray is the only one I marginally agree with, but the paupers
didn't even mention /one/ SGI. How the hell is that possible?
Even their saint Steve Jobs spoke well of SGI, very well actually.
(Also, to hell with them and their multi-page layout. Are they so
desperate to maximize their ad revenues that they have to resort
to that?!)
