Beautiful Wooden PC Cases

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the art-matters dept.

mrbill submitted linkage to a site offering to sell what appear to be very beautiful wood PC cases combining wood, glass and silicon into something a hell of a lot prettier than that beige box. Something tells me these wouldn't win the recent Intel sexy case contest, but they sure are sharp.

    A tall tower box is "Well appointed from $6635 in Maple"

    There is also a media box selling for $35,000. It's nice work, but I think the guy overestimates the financial worth of his craft.

  2. Awww, C'mon! Televisions and Radios . . . by StefanJ · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Until a couple of decades ago, it was very common for televisions to have elaborate wooden cases. My grandmother had one; when she upgraded to color we got her old set for the basement playroom.

    Old-style radios also came in elaborate wooden cases.

    These olde beasts had vacuum tubes, which used high voltage and put off substantial amounts of heat. They didn't have (or need) cooling fans.

    Worries about fire are overblown. Or maybe overheated? Ehhh, sorry.
