I don't know of a case that I could honestly say I like. For that reason, a case that at least does not aspire to be something it isn't appeals to me. A nondescript, off-white (or maybe black) box. Unfortunately they nearly always put on a plastic front-panel that has some unfullfilled asperations to being decorative. Anything with a front door is a PITA, since I need it open anyway when I'm at the computer, and I care less what it looks like when I'm not there. Is an on/off button that terribly ugly you need to hide it? Designers, if you can't design a nice button, you need to get into a different line of work.
As for this one, it deliberately tries to look alien outer-spacey. Darth Vader's helmit? It doesn't do a bad job of that. It is a nice shape in and of itself. The color is sophisticated. Kind of metallic green-gold I would say, not fluorescent lime. If you are going to make something not a non-neutral color, then do it. The play-toy red, green, or yellow cases I've seen just look bad. Blue might pass, but I have not seen a very pleasant blue shade yet.
Nothing fits into curves. Curves have visual appeal, sure, but it just creates practical difficulties to work around.

I can see how that sentiment made him into a Republican. IAC, it is something we haven't had to worry about since about 1974, when the much reviled President Richard M. Niixon fixed it with the volunteer army.

True, we all better off for Ronald Reagan, George Bush's predecessor. Although the remarkable Donald Rumsfeld did not have that advantage in the present war, he, with Tommy Thomson, devised ingenious workarounds for the Clinton philosophy of decimation of the miltary.
