Quiet Desk (Not Desktop) PC

Posted by michael on from the have-reciprocating-saw-will-travel dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Rusty took a wholly different approach to PC noise: he built his XP1900+ machine right into the desk! While it may not make the PC industry scramble to define a new *desk* (not desktop) form factor, Rusty's inventive techniques will surely have computer hardware enthusiasts poring over his fine work."

  3. What a stupid idea by Goalie_Ca · · Score: -1, Troll

    The only people who would like this idea would be the martha stewarts of the world. My mom like the fact that her computer is hid away in a closet. I could never stand that. Anyways, i like to be able to play around inside my pc, for eg swap drives, and that would really take some time.

  4. One thing I noticed about it (sorry, posting AC) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...is that it's very comfortable to sit at my "desk" and get a blowjob from a 12-year-old BOY. YOUR SON, FAGGOT!

    And you know where he learned to suck dick?

  5. Nothing new, and it wasn't very brilliant before by Spit_Fire1 · · Score: -1, Troll

    By putting a computer in a desk, as in permanently mounting it there,
    1.you loose the portability,
    2.get a crappier desk/pc at twice the cost of buying a like desk and computer separately,
    3.loose some of the ability to upgrade,

    I'm assuming the pc is able to get out of the desk, but your limited in case size and shape. On top of all that my desk that I've had for years has a place to put a mid-size tower in it with plenty of room for ventilation on all sizes, and poof my computer is built into the desk, without the added cost and bad materials.

  6. I had the same idea by Dynedain · · Score: 3, Troll

    I've been thinking about this for about 3 years now, just haven't had the time to do it.

    Powerswitches for components and lights along front edge, verical drawer for motherboard. Exentions of usb/audio/ps2/etc. ports to a panel on the top of the desk. Backlit round panel with a spoke jutting up for a cd spindle. "popup" removable media drives on the top surface (lift a hinged panel with the drive attached to the underside to insert disk).

    I wish I could see what this guy did to compare to my thoughts.

  7. im impressed by seelet · · Score: 0, Troll

    the desk pc is setup really good. the only problem i see with this is (1)that took alot of time. (2)all that time spent on building the computer could have been spent smoking pot or drinking beer. (3)get a life.

    Of course, for that matter, why would you want to operate on that shakey, combustible operating system? (It is running *Windows XP* after all... see the screen saver)
