The Ultimate Desk... Sort Of

They still aren't selling powerbands or insect musicians, but I figure it's only a matter of time now.

    i built a desk to replace my case - so I'm not sure if it's a case mod, or a desk mod -- either way, i have no case now -- my entire pc is hidden inside my desk (except the monitor). When in "desk mode" the pc is invisible. You can pull out a drawer and tweak the mobo. Or fold down the drawer front to use the keyboard & mouse & access the drives.

  2. Re:/. Never Ceases to Amaze Me... by Zak3056 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am really amazed at how many people are actually complaining about the price! I really should collect all of your names so that I can have a really fun first of April...

    And even if you did get the joke, it is hardly worth the bandwidth. I would complain that /. has gone down the tubes, but hasn't it always been like this?

    The thing is, I"m not convinced that this IS a joke. It's a publicity stunt, to be sure, but from reading the other items available in the site (such as Birdman's 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner, Powerpuff girls and Dexters lab bedrooms, etc) that all of the ridiculous looking items are possibly the real thing. Most of them are limited in quantity to 1-3, and the million dollar treehouse listed actually references California building codes, site permit fees, etc.

    That said, I agree with you that this isn't quite "news for nerds," and it CERTAINLY isn't "stuff that matters."
