I can't remember the brands. But these are my top two favorite model names that we've had in shop. Both are PCs.

iCute
iBuddie XP

I think people get what they deserve when they but things like this. Can anyone top these?

Can you? (http://www.casepower.com.tw/english/Products/XL/0408.htm) You'd practically have to, wouldn't you?

It can be hard to tell online if soemthing is blue or purple though. Thtats the sucky part.

the iBuddy is funny looking, but the iCute is a realy excellent looking tower.

it's apparently a company that refurbs cases . . . or sells cases for refurbishing. Maybe even stolen cases. But the new modles they have on their website are sweet. I linked the best of the bunch above.

Looks like a ripoff of an Aerocool:

It probably is. I saw something about how iCute might refurb other companies' cases. Though I suspect maybe this is one of those companies that got their start fencing stolen cases in another country.

Let's hear it for companies being awesome.

Probably made by the same manufacturer. Look at this (http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20050411/mid_tower_cases-33.html), this (http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20050411/mid_tower_cases-37.html), this (http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20050411/mid_tower_cases-29.html) and this (http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20050411/mid_tower_cases-49.html).

That turbine thing in front is one of the dumbest things ever, I was in shock when I found out - it's not powered, just free spinning in the airstream of a regular 120mm fan that sits directly behind it. Funnily enough, Aerocool does sell fans that look exactly like it, are rated at 950rpm (quiet), and with this many blades, are excellent at blowing air through a huge stack of hard drives (backpressure!), but this isn't one of them...

Well, i suppose it still loks cool, even with no purpose, but it'd be nice to get one of the aerocool fans and just switch it out (or switch out the motor and make that one work). ::looks at the casemodding crowd::

i'm still waiting on the iShiv, which would be like an exacto-knife and ishuffle in one.

*shrug* we bought a gunmetal black iCute case for the beast we built with our last set of tax cheques :)

Burpie

Directron had picked up the remainder of the Barbie PC's, sanded off the logo and renamed it the Burpie. For the price, it was a very nice computer, especially after the bright pink plastic case was removed.
