I'd personally consider the SGI o2, Octane, Tezro
and *maybe* the Fuel, as
well as the original Apple G4 towers (the G3's of that design scream LOOK AT
ME, but the G4 is more subdued), G4 cube, and the original iMac and iBook
designs to all be very stylish and "art". The NeXT systems would be a close
contender. While stylish, and very well designed, I doubt I'd put the G5
and Xeon Mac towers in this classification.
Ahem. When I got my G5 I pulled the side panel to make sure nothing
shook loose in shipping. It took me the better part of an hour to stop
ooohing and aaahhing.
Under the hood of a 1963 Mercedes Benz was the only thing I've ever
seen that came remotely close. Totally gratuitous engineering.
The Altos 5xx are sexy little beasties too.
