I just read an article on Salon about this and other appliance-type
machines (the PIA is the closest one to a "real" computer, though) based
on alternative OSes (Linux, Amiga [though, isn't that really Linux now,
too?], and BeOS). It was pretty interesting:

Anyway, they gave a link to the PIA homepage, which has a picture of the
machine. It's just a normal tower case, with an iMac-y look (smoke grey):

If it came in a cooler color, I would think about getting one...Oh wait,
no I wouldn't, because I have just blown a crap-load of money building an
mp3 stereo machine ;)
