    why does the first model [on the left] say it's an aluminum shell when it's actually rubberized plastic? Is this something that's down the line that was accidentally placed there? or did they go back to aluminum? I'm confused now, because if it's aluminum again, the deal is sealed on my new computer, because the 18x is just too big for me [a buddy got one, and it's WAY too big]

    EDIT: forgot to say which first model

    Nah must be something left over from the R2. Website errors happen all the time.

    that's what i was wondering, i'm hoping deep down it's an error that they accidentally put up there for something they're going back to. i didnt see it the other week when i was browsing their site looking at configurations.
