PC Beauty

This touches on so many themes I had a difficult time deciding where to put it. It fits under technology and and quality images.

I went to get a part from the local used PC store and while I was in there I saw custom built PC's on display. One of them was a PVC pipe one that originally caught my eye for originality but wasn't very aesthetic.

What I didn't notice or understand was that there were also PC's built into some old pieces of furniture. After I saw the first one, the technician led me around to show me some pieces. It was funny watching her open some cabinets to see if there was a computer inside, since not every cabinet, desk, stand etc had one built in.

One of their employees builds computers into old pieces of furniture, especially old radio/hi-fi furniture.

This PC is in the housing for a 1939 RCA radio.

I apologize for the picture quality, but my cellphone camera sucks. The blue neon and the analog gauges really looked great against the dark wood, but the blue neon caused glare in my cheapo cellphone camera lens.

When I saw that it was the same price as any mid-level desktop, I was very tempted, but I'm not in the market for a new PC. It's also not practical if you want to add a second drive or other hardware.

But it was so damn pretty.
