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."

    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."
