That Tyragroup case is nice, rather close to an idea I had, which was inspired from one of the original Gatemiga concepts...
What I'd like to see are the drives and ports off to a side, either side-facing (in the classic 'lunchbox' style; one slim CD-RW or combo drive would be 'it'), or front-facing and allowing for a ridiculous number of bays. It'd eat more desk space (like a minitower next to an LCD, but with half the depth), but it'd allow for a ridiculous number of bays, and get the drives up off desks that tend to get cluttered with paperwork, input devices, loose tobacco if you're a slob like me... and allow the thing to sit further back (not so much a problem as panels scale to 21"+; using VESA mounts, you'd have to allow the mounting point to slide left/right, but that itself would be a convenience for dusting under the display), so that sort of mess would be further removed from the machine.
My original idea was to take the standing 'wedge' design (forget the name) with the LCD mount on the flat face and drive slot on the side, make it flat on one side (a-la Apple II, sort of), and provide some sort of flip-up retainer on the slanted face for a compact keyboard... voila, use it standing with an LCD, standing drive-side-out with a CRT, or flat A500/Apple-II style (with an LCD stood on the 'top?') depending on your particular space constraints.
If anyone builds *that,* feel free to send me a free one.
