This is not a flame, just an expression of bewilderment...

Sorry -- I don't get it.  You're building a PC in a GS case.  Nothing 
will change the fact that it's a PC, with all the problems and baggage 
that comes along with it.  Then you're making it try to look like OS X?  
I'm sorry, but it seems to me that if you want a Mac, get a Mac; if you 
want a PC, get a PC; if you want a GS, get a GS.

Although if you ran some flavour Linux it might be a little closer.  But 
to me anything running any version of Windows will never be "in the 
spirit of the GS."

My 2p...
