The thing looks genuinely ugly with the outer casing off: like computer junk from the late '90s, with a touch of Jawa Quality Spares.

Not many computers are pretty inside, and, as far as computers go, this one is not near the top of the ugliness scale.

I don't know: if you see any of the "real-world", non-studio-lit/Photoshopped pictures of the internal cylinder it looks pretty groady http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/mac_pro_... . (Ash-grey plastic panelling pockmarked with slots, how I missed you! Good to see you still have those big roundrect corners too.) It's a long way down from the internal fit-and-finish of the last Mac Pro design http://nonstopmac.com/images/macpro.jpg . Even the internals of a typical self-build PC can look pretty nice if you take care to braid up cables and so on.
