Suissa Computers offers up custom wooden PCs

What better to match up with that legnatile wood notebook and elm mousepad than a stay-at-home desktop counterpart that wraps nature's best around the sweetest components available? Suissa Computers is targeting the anti-treehugger in us all by offering up a lineup of custom made PCs geared specifically for gaming, entertainment, or home office use. Sporting unconventional, artsy designs, these computers can be encased in a myriad of woods including maple, walnut, oak, goncalo alves, lacewood, leopardwood, paduak, mahogany, zebrawood or purpleheart. Hidden within is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ / 5000+ dual-core CPU, up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, nVidia GeForce 7900 / 7950 graphics card, 600 watt power supply, liquid cooling system, and essentially any other option your mind can envision (and wallet can afford). Each model is only replicated 100 times, when it's then replaced by another freshly-chopped design, so if you see a flavor you dig (and have the $6,150+ to cover the cost of ownership), you should probably snap one up before it hits Suissa's endangered species list.

Am I the only one who thinks they look rubbish? And for that kind of money, Jeez... you can't buy taste.

They dont look THAT bad, but for the price? Holy shit .. canadians really ARE crazy... $35,000 for a "custom" model? Heres an idea, hit up newegg.com and your local cabinet maker and save yourself $32,000 and go buy a car with it..

Holy Schnitzel man, I only usually fall off my chair when I'm drunk but $35,000 - I was saying they were over priced at $6150.

Good God, that's kinda vulgar don't you think.

Canadians, I thought they were the North Americans with some sense.

And there�s me thinking drug dealers had the highest (no pun) profit margins.

For that price, and for the type of design they are aiming at, they should be steam bending the wood for contoured walls instead.

I find the designs interesting, but question the value.

I'll pay it- That sucker has gotta be silent!

I'm waiting for the model made from a Panda's head.

lol i wonder when someone orders a slimline custom wooden dildo PC

[Wonderboy @ Oct 3rd 2006 5:11PM]

Nick, I'll tell you what... I've got the deal of the century for you. I'll sell you a completely silent PC, in a sexier case than what you see above... all for $29750.00 (plus tax). That's 15% off of the Suissa model, with a better design to boot!

Email me, [e-mail].

Satisfaction guaranteed or you'll get a heartfelt apology via automated email.

Huh? A computer inside a tree? Wow, I mean I know it's hard to creatively design a PC that isn't inside a tan boring plastic rectangle, but come on now. At least they avoided a cheese grater metal case ;)
