Who buys this junk? This crap takes up a lot of valuable shelf space in retail establishments and I have never seen any human being purchase one of these monstrosities. Why don't they just stop already?

Gieger to design molds for enclosures around some of these systems. They're getting close to looking like alien monsters anyway. Why not go all the way?
