I wonder how many people will just run this with the case off. It looks so much better to my eyes.
Maybe an aftermarket clear case will show up?
I really hope a similar form factor takes off for custom computer builders.
Alas, it won't even turn on without its case (http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/23/5234574/apple-mac-pro-rev...). It needs it to guide air through the cooling tower style design. Presumably, someone could make a transparent case as an accessory.
I think there'd be a market for a third-party glass or clear plastic case, which I believe would serve the same purpose but show of the awesome internals.
If ever there was a product that called out for a Kickstarter, it would be the clear Mac Pro case.
Artisan borosilicate glass, naturally.
A Kickstarter for a case for a very expensive computer... I don't see that going so well.
An vertically extruded triangle form factor would have been superb, like a sibling artefact from 2001.
