Wooden Computer Accessories

polyp2000 writes "It's always interesting to read about case-mods, but this company has a novel twist, for nature loving geeks. Maybe even the perfect accessory for a wooden case mod. Swedx do a nice line in wooden monitors, keyboards, and some sweet looking wooden mice in a selection of different woods."

Computers for the Ahmish.

After years of your computer giving you wood, you can finally give back.

Wooden you just know it!

[Phidoux]

Now my pc will burn with the rest off my house! Aggggg!

Just imagine thier server room RIGHT NOW...

I bet the Halon can't keep up with that tinderbox!

Plenty of wood already ....

[pararox]

As if most Slashdot readers truly need more wood when sitting before a computer ;)

About 6 years behind the time.

Didn't Jack Gallo, publisher of Blush Magazine, have a wood-cased LCD flatpanel monitor on his desk?

Why yes, he did.

In like 1998.

And there's always competition.

For the "nature lovers"...

Sure, they may like accessories from cut-down trees.
Me, I'm still waiting for my authentic ivory mouse and tiger fur coated keyboard.


yes, that was a joke

The only true wooden computer

[Advocadus Diaboli]

is called Abacus. True digital computing at an affordable price.

And there are also analog wooden computers.

Re:Yes, wood is "nature loving"

So come back when you're typing on keyboards assembled from windfall wood and bones of animals that died of natural causes.

Picture: A post-apocalyptic world, now grown lush and green again.

"Father, what kind of animal is that?"

"That's a qwerty, my son. If you know how to skin and prepare one, you can use almost every part of it to make a keyboard."

"Almost? What's left over?"

"The scrowlock and the cisrek. Hell if I know what they're good for."

There was a little wooden PC once...

It had a wooden case,
a wooden mouse
a wooden keyboard
and a wooden cpu
and it wooden go!

Re:You love nature so much that you

The answer is trivial when you think about it. While it's a bad thing to cut down entire rainforests of hardwood just to make mice, it's even worse to mine entire mountains level just so you get a 1337 aluminum case.

Empty soda can.... about 17 g
Ennyah ATX case... 5 kg

Knowing your case can be recycled into about 294 cans of jolt cola... priceless

They just don't work very well

I tried out a wooden monitor once, but the picture was just too grainy.

Is cardboard "wood"?

[tverbeek]

Because I mounted a small power supply, motherboard, and a hard drive in a FedEx box, as an easier-to-carry alternative to a 1U case (nice and flat, but way too wide and deep) or a typical desktop/tower case (too, well... box-like). As an added bonus, it's less likely to get stolen because it doesn't exactly look like a computer. Though I do have to be careful any time FedEx comes to pick up a package. {grin}
