Why do most computers have these ugly massive towers and hundreds of cables?

I have an iMac with an Intel Core 2 Duo processer and the whole thing even the speakers in the monitor case and only one cabel behind it (power cord) the mac mini is a tower but its incredibly small the mac pro has a tower but thats probably because of its monster hardware, but what kills me is that many computer manufactures still use towers the size of a mac pro but has much cheaper hardware look at laptops all computer manufactures realized that they computers don't need towers of hundreds of wires behind them, do computer manufactures think these towers with hundreds of cords behind them and the perphials (i know i spelled it wrong) are to be outside the case do computer manufactures think this is attractive, or do the people who own every company (except Apple) serverely lack creativity and innovation. i just want to know why the desighn they're computers so ugly and dull and big?

I just want to know where the towers with"hundreds of cables" are located. I've never seen one with more than a score *unless* running a system like I ran in Germany with 75 peripheral units tied to a main system link. Even with my three desktops tied together into a server unit there are nowhere near that many cables. And I like cables. :)

Let this be an abject lesson in exaggeration: Never use exxageration in a question/claim and expect a serious, truthful answer. ;)
