Wooden computers? Bah!!

A Swiss company is offering wooden computers, including monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Wonder where they got this idea? Could it be?

LOL! Actually, these have been around for awhile, (the keyboard/monitor/mouse combo) and they are produced by a company in Europe.

I don't know of anyone who is actually producing wood cases though. The ones I've seen are always veneered metal cases.

And let's face it, how many people will pay upwards of $1500 for a case, when they can get a metal one for, like, $50?


Thanks for the heads up, Super Gerbil!

Because they want something they don't have to hide inside a piece of furniture. No, they're not cheap, but how cool would it be to show off your wooden case when you have people over?
