Then why build a rackable case around it? You wouldn't see it (and
naturally, the case makes it work better).

I'm with Gandia on this one. A curvacious case (on a computer, modem,
external drive, etc, is bullshit. It requires too much desktop space to
hold each INDIVIDUAL piece of equipment instead of allowing nice,
tight, neat, practical, efficient stacking of components.
Desk space is a premium around my system with the externals. If they
wouldn't stack, I'd have to either build a special piece of furniture
just to hold a few odds and ends or place them on the floor around it.
