The case design is really phenomenal. I've been inside mine (2009) a lot lately trying to fix a stability issue (the north bridge is possibly getting to 120˚C, the ATI Radeon 4870 was running very hot and disassembling showed 4 years worth of dust jamming it up). Swapping components with nary a screw and the general cleanliness (no SATA cables snaking around, air channels from front to back) is excellent.

I'd like for Apple to carry both lines going forward, but I guess that is unlikely. The issues I'm seeing now discourage me from dropping another 3-5k on the new ones knowing they are even further from being fixable.
