I thought that this looked a lot like an iBook. Considering that the Cell microprocessor in the PS3 is from the same architecture as the CPUs in iBooks and PowerBooks, one might consider this the realization of an alternate history (where Apple never went Intel).

Sweet. To be honest though it looks more like a laptop case (that has a laptop inside).

Now all he needs to do is load up Yellow Dog Linux and it'll really be a P(S3)C.

Unfortunately the ps3 slim doesn't have support for otheros(linux).
