sorry if I am barking up the wrong tree.. but do you think it will be beautiful with all the breakout cables ?

For me this whole thing looks like a blast from the past - my trusty C64 with everything outside the box (and there were some articles in the 64er magazine [german magazine] which showed how to build everything into a single case for the neat, "integrated" look)

I think for many people it will be a beautiful black cylinder on a cluttered desktop. For people who need to use expansions this will take up a significantly larger footprint than a machine that allows for internal expansion.

For those that put the machine under their desk it will just be a mess of cables and things to kick over.

Third parties are going to have a field day designing accessories to this that will do away with the clutter. A six pronged lightning plug that splits into a meta-rack monolithic black box. Done.

The whining about this product is expected but so misguided.
