Really Stylish PCs and Peripherals

knipknap writes "With Christmas lying ahead I decided it was time to present myself new PC hardware. Of course, nothing can be good enough for my Linux box, so I ran looking for some really nice cases - but was soon disappointed by the very little options available when it comes to stylish cases. There is the very nice Hoojum Nanode, which is for Nano-ITX boards only, while I was looking for more powerful alternatives. Then there was the Cubit P4, also from Hoojum, which seemed to suit my needs. I ordered one via mini-itx.com, but unfortunately they messed up the order and noticed only after it was already sold out... so there went my last option. I was also recommended Hush (I already own one) and Shuttle, both of which I found looking kind of cheap. Another problem seems to be finding good peripherals - I have not found a single higher quality mouse and keyboard outside the plastic computer world. So I decided to ask Slashdotters - which other options are there available?" Personally I love the Hush box.

Apparently this was the wrong place to ask.

We have folks suggesting Macs.

We have folks suggesting that you make your own, and you could have for example a wooden computer that looks like 1970s DIY crap, or a plastic case with lights and a window.

We have folks suggesting enthusiast cases, like AlienWare, Lian-li's aluminum behemoth, or "the shark", which looks even cheaper than AlienWare's 1959 Cadillac Eldorado crap.

Apparently hoojum & hush are the best you're going to do around here. Shuttle only passes imho because you could stow it somewhere out of view.
