So many were saying that the Towers and big box Amigas all looked like PCs and well, it was hard not to.  I have to add to that discussion by saying the Atari Mega STe and TT030 really didn't look like PCs and had nicely designed cases, but they were pretty much crap for expansion.  In fact the only real expansion bus they had was the VME which was hard to find and extremely expensive even when they were being produced.  Now it's downright impossible to find the VME video cards for them.

There weren't much in the way for accelerators either, mainly 'cause the older versions of TOS were crap and really not meant to handle much more than a 68000 until the TT030.

But this is a bit off topic of course, I voted that the A4000T was the best, due to it looking intimidating and being the most expandable.  I love my A4000D, but taking it fully apart is a pain the butt, and I really wish there wasn't so much play in the front.  One of these days I want to get a 3D printer and print up new plastic bits for it.. :D
