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.

    I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to get one for my Dell laptop.

  7. 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.

  8. Looks nice... by ewl1217 · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Not only do these computers look nice, but they actually include some good bundled software. From the list of bundled programs:
    • Open Office version 2.0.3
    • Firefox Web Browser Version 1.5
    • Thunderbird Mail Version 1.5
    Of course it also includes a trial of WinRAR, but it is progress.

    My NewEgg 30 dollar special with a giant glowing Z, more lights glowing inside it than the vegas strip, and a power supply only rivaled by a 747 also was purchased as a status symbol. That status being im a cheap bastard.
