Detachables
How about two G4 cube sized boxes, one for drives, and the other for the CPU, memory, video, audio, etc. A small 1U or so low power PSU in each cube, 200W or so, so it wouldn't be really hot and hard to cool (400W total so there should be plenty of power).
I'm just speculating, I really dig the idea of two detachable parts of the computer. Either have it "snapped" together or seperated. Apple could even have larger in size (so you can put more drives or other things) for each cube for different needs. Apple might even be able to distance itself from the "Macs are more expenive" crowd since you could upgrade one of the cubes vs. a whole new computer.
I don't see this happening though. If something like this were to happen from any manufacturer it would be from Apple, it seems like a risky design move. I guess we can all just keep dreaming and see what happens.
