On my toilet-seat iBook, you lift up the keyboard, which is pretty simple and screwless, and the Airport card fits into a free-form ``slot'' (held in by a spring, otherwise no firm guide) and the antenna is a thin wire that snakes back up into the body of the computer, towards the screen.
And in reference to the perspex/plexiglas, you should check out the
TiBook. Way sexier than the recently mentioned sexy Sony Vaios, IMHO. Or maybe you were talking about the desktop machines. I suppose you could use an
Xserve as a desktop machine. You can get it with an ATI Radeon 8500 AGP.
