It looks like a caveman brow-ridge thing.  Like Fry in that Futurama episode where he found the caveman society in Germany.

For only $1000, he will "set up as a full turn key setup to include paint, keyboard, mouse, tower, controllers and games."

His ad even includes a pic of one of his completed $1000 cabs.
