So by your logic, if all the feet were metal-effect then that means the case is a higher quality, because if the designers think about the feet, they think about the enclosure more as well?
No. It shows they have paid attension to small details that may not seem that important to everyone, but adds to the level of case quality. It doesn't ensure the case is good quality, it only shows the detail.
It seems that via your logic that if you've never going to see it, what does it matter? Well in that case, why bother having metal effect feet at all, why do we have Cathodes, LED's inside cases etc... Well clearly there is a market out there, and each manufacturer is trying to create a case as close to perfect as possible. Using metal feet only adds to the effect.
Put it this way, having a car with a nice engine bay won't nessisarily do anything or prove that the car is well designed, but it certainly adds to the level of detail. If you like your engine bay clean and your car as close to the perfection you want, then you might think that too have all metal feet are important. If you don't mind a grubby engine which rarely see's the light of day other than the service, then you won't care!
To me, just because it won't be seen doesn't mean it isn't important. Sure - feet ARN'T important, but they show the level of thought. I hope you understand what I mean.
