OK, I will :).

A little plastic surgery with a Dremel might solve this, no?

External CDs, the way forward I tell you ;).

Oh don't be so silly, unless you have failing eye sight (I apologise
profusely if you do - I can't tell from the e-mail and I'm not a
mind-reader) then the 10" LCD is fine for either 512x384 or 640x480,
especially seeing as it's a flat(ish) tube.

Most ppl only use one res. on their screens anyway.

So what's your point, you are having a go at yourself almost!??

I personally am not too much of a fan of the all-in-one LC cases (in the
same way I don't like the G3 AIO), they look gawky, maybe I just prefer
Flat Pack LCs and so am biased ;), the only one I actually like is the
Mac TV (it's black, what else can you say!). The CC oozes style and
'cute' factor that even hardened Mac fanatics fine irresistible. I
wouldn't actually trash an AIO LC but if someone else was and they
offered me the board I'd take it without hesitation, even if I didn't
have a CC to put it in yet (only a matter of time and money!). I don't
think LC 575s suck *as such* they just don't have the style of the CC,
it's a case of attaching the best case to the best guts possible. I do
also think 5400s are actually quite cool in their own little way but
only a very few of those get 'done' for Power CCs.
