The Lisa is definitly a very cool design, both interior and exterior wise,
although the mouse and keyboard are a bit too blocky.
Personally I think some of the cooliest designs are the 68k based Atari's.
The perfect example is my Atari TT030. Couple the case design with TOS,
the ROM based windowed OS, and you've got a cool design. The only down
sides are TOS's single task nature, and the mouse again.
I like the Amiga 500 and 1200 because of their amazing expandibility in
such a small case. Of course you end up with a maze of cables.
I also agree that the Mac's like the IIcx are a great design, the way they
pop apart.
