the ugliest one possible (Score 1)

I've learned something from living in a dorm.. the uglier your computer is the better. If you have some 1337 looking computer, everyone and their brother will want to borrow it or play a game on it or burn a cd on it.. now if you get a really old case made out of that tannish greyish plastic and make the thing look like a POS, then everyone will assume that it *is* a POS and leave the damn thing alone so you can type your paper. hrmph.
