You mean the ugly-massive-integrated-LCD/CPU-eyesore-on-the-wall form
factor? And you want to pay *extra* for that?
One of the main attractions of LCD is the tiny footprint and
elegant/slim profile. So basically you are taking one of the best
features of LCDs, tossing it out the window, and charging extra for it.
Meanwhile you can get a streamlined 30" LCD TV from Dell with the same
specs for $2500 and have $3500 left over for a machine which you can
toss inside a 1U/2U housing and fit right into your AV rack/media closet.
