Here's food for thought: If Apple finds that people are using the larger CPUs in a tower fashion (kind of like CPU tipping), then might they redesign the case of the larger systems so that it naturally stands on its side? In other words, rotate the drive slots 90 degrees.... Any speculation? (Perhaps they'd worry about them looking too much like the '386 towers.)
