Who cares how it looks - as long as it works.

Does it do what it "Says on the box"?

If something is ugly, even a book will hide it. (No - a book won't hide an ugly car etc, unless you tape the pages over it)

And there was me thinking you need a drill for holes, and use a router if you want to cut a groove or a bevel.

Must be for air cooling..

Reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon where they invent the "Gruntmaster 2000" and have to name it before even deciding what it actually will be...!
