Well…yes, almost all of that logic did occur to me, but it still seems misguided. Unless you are in college or within a few years of it, the idea of swaying visitors with your gear is kind of silly, and doing so with something that ugly doesn't seem to be the best way to go about it. The rationalizations you mention all make sense. I just think that there are more people that wouldn't want that crap cluttering up their component racks than there are people that will say, "hey what does of weird looking thing do, and how can I get one?" Apparently Slingbox is OK with that, but from a marketing standpoint, it seems like they are shooting themselves in the foot voluntarily.
