Exotic Wood Computer Cases

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the william-gibson-recommended dept.

Alien54 writes "Exotic Wood Crafts has turned an aluminum case into a wood veneer case. For those who don't know, a veneer is a very thin layer of wood, in this case, pressed onto the panels of the case, maintaining the strong and stable characteristics of an aluminum case, while giving it a one of a kind wood finish. Lots of pics, some pretty nice looking stuff."

    Are you serious or just nuts? I can put a laminate on anything for less than $30 and the case you give as an "example" is ugly as all get out and NOTHING I would EVER want in my life. What the heck is that for style or craftsmanship???! Give me a break. If you think THAT piece of $10 junk laminate plastered on a metal case is worth the ridiculous price tag, you need to get a real world clue.

    do we really need this? computer cases are little more than shells. Why are we chopping down trees for what is essentially a few-years-use object? And, cases made of ALUMINIUM? Christ, do you know what kind of embodied energy is contained in Aluminium?

    This case is our worst nightmare.. hell it might look pretty, but so do my nice pink lungs. Please, its nice to look at but really, is this something we should be buying? I certainly think not.
