ANY PC cases that are round like the new MAC is?

Looking to build a new pc that is windows but looks like a MAC.
No do not tell me to buy a MAC as I do not want any features they offer.
 
You do know that you can run Windows 7 on a Mac, right? There are no decent clones but at least they run Wintel capable hardware so installing Windows is a snap :whiste:

I made a note that I do not want a pc OS on a mac. Per my first comment.

Just asking for those if anyone knew. This post is not about the OS mainly but about HARDWARE in this care I am talking about the SHELL PC CASE.
 
I'm sorry, I though he was looking for a round case to install his own components, rather than a pre-build.

BTW, You might want to change your Google search filter to "Past year" vs "Any time".

It would be impossible to find a case as small and round as the Mac. It uses very specific hardware developed only for use in that case in unsupported proprietary formats. It's ok being a Mac because they will sell the needed volume to make it viable and even if they don't the rest of the Apple lifestyle options they sell will cover the margin.

A case manufacturer can't build it unless the hardware exists. The hardware manufacturers aren't going to create parts for a non standard platform until their are enough case options. So what's left is all in one solutions where a company like Asus makes all of the components. Luckily they won't be able to control video, CPU, and memory production so it'll have to use standard components for that. But every standard component they let you choose is going to affect their ability to simulate that form factor.
