This was designed by 17″ XPS carrying CS Gaymers. Not mainstream users. Too much bling, dials, and flashing lights, not enough ‘thin enough to fit into a laptop bag with a macbook’.
Lose the lights and dials and give the thing a Dual-Link 7400go, internal iec plug 40w power supply, ethernet, sound card and a four port powered usb hub. Make it out of a solid chunk of aluminium for passive heatsinking and smaller than 250 page paperback. Then I’ll be interested.
