Ok, this is a cooler one. I don't remember If I saw this posted in the forums, but here it comes.

The Playstation 2's box design seems not too original if we give a look at a prototype built by Atari in the first Eighties, known as the Atari Falcon Microbox. I thought this was an hoax, but I could find many good Atari sources with details of the PC/console.

Take a look.

And here's a description

Quote:
The MicroBox was ALMOST released. It was to be the replacement for the Atari Falcon computer. Enhancements were to include an all new case design and a true 32-bit bus with (3) 32-bit expansion slots. There were plans to make it upgradeable to the Motorola 68040 processor.
