we've been toying around with a 20" for about two weeks (creating a 
master build for a client). it's a nice box...although the 
"letterbox" screen format is a little wierd. can't really get an 
8.5x11 spread (horizontal tabloid) on the screen at actual size. the 
production folks were a little bothered by that.

i was expecting a 2.5" drive but instead found a 3.25" serial ata 
drive. the internal design is awesome. two full size chips easy to 
get to after popping open the back of the case.

it's quiet and nonintrusive. the large white dead area along the 
bottom of the box is a little wierd but the admins like it...gives 
them a place to put their stickies. ;)
