I don't think anyone besides hardcore computer nerds actually care what their computers look like. Lest we repeat the sins of The Trash Can Mac...

For people with big clunky PC boxes, they stick it under a desk or on the floor because that's where it fits and it's out of sight.
Because of the "sleek" design and smaller size, Apple has people convinced that the computer should be like children in the '50s--seen but not heard.
If you offer someone a computer in the shape of the mac mini or this new studio design OR they could have a typical PC style box, I'm guessing the majority of people will choose the smaller box. Even if there are no Apple logos on the smaller box. Nobody wants a 30+lb box any more. As an editor, you can take this bad boy on the road with you without incurring overweight luggage fees at the airport.
The keyword being offer, as long as they don't have to pay for it.
