- Yeah, I'm all for a totally new case design, but I think they've
- gone a bit too far with the Walker case. Sure the shape will turn
- a few heads, but IMO it's just not practical. You can't put a monitor

- on it's side. You just have to sit it there and look at it. Personally

- to use, not to make a fashion statement. I wouldn't buy a VCR or
- CD player if had case like this either.
