It was only a data point.  I'm not into bling bling.  I'm into 
functionality/low cost.  My Myth box performs great and cost me ~ $500.
I just couldnt see paying almost 1/2 the cost of the box on a case.  Every 
single person that has come in to look at it hasn't even noticed that there 
was a computer in there.  You can't tell unless you get down on the floor 
and stare at it for a second.  As far as it being plastic, when's the last 
time you bought a VCR or a DVD player?  EVERYTHING is plastic these days.
I'm not saying you shouldn't buy one if you want it, I'm only saying *I* don't 
know why people do it.
