If I ever had to love a PC it might be this one I just stumbled accross (not my video):

The Schneider EuroPC II looks like it could have come right out of the Amiga production line ca. 1988!

a girl i know had one around '90. wasnt too sexy. one could play lemmings on that though.

Would be a good candidate to put an Amiga motherboard into, or a modern PC motherboard booting straight into UAE.

I wouldn't mind getting a hold of one of these... Think of it as the Japanese Amiga.

That looks like an MSX :)

The X68000 is a nice machine, a friend of mine has one and I'm still looking for one for my collection but they go quite high most of the time (well over 1000$ in Sweden and abroad you have the crazy shipping), they have a lot of PSU problems nowdays tho but it's quite trivial to fix for most of us :)
The IBM PC compatible PC I have never seen, would be nice to have in my collection but nothing I will hunt for, I have seen a few russian clone machines sell now and then with the "amiga" wedge look :)
But to buy it and replace the motherboard with a modern machine mini-ITX board would not be something I would do, it's not any form of recent standard on the innards anyways so would be the same hackjob as doing the same on any Amiga wedge and such a waste on a less common machine.
I wish for a Wedge case for a modern machine but without the connections to use CNC machines etc it's hell, so I have been thinking of experimenting with building one in pepakura and fiberglass and reinforced inside but doubt the results :/ ( will try to build a Fallout terminal before I try any wedge case to get the hang of it).

So it's an XT in a C128/C64 disguise.... run...

Actually, when I first saw it I thought more: C65 !

I could see my self getting excited over having found one, say at a flea market or something. Then after I realized how much I just spent thinking I found a rare Amiga or Atari and ended up with a piece of crap under powered DOS machine, I'd be furious! :)

Yeah, I should have stated in my original post, it's really the design of the case I like. The PC guts don't thrill me (although an XT is starting to have a little bit of retro interest - but not much).
