Since when did it have an i7?
You mean into my gramma's collection
Looks beautiful, but I'm still willing to bet that it will overheat in that fabric enclosure and it would probably be against a wall like other furniture. Looks nice for sure though.
Most likely it will set your house on fire faster than you hit that turn off button and burn it down with that wooden thing!;)
It pulls air from the bottom and exhausts it out the top, how's it going to overheat??
Of course you'd think about overheating problems at first glance but obviously the maker thought about that as well... If you'd click on the the picture to go to his website you'd see.
Uh, where's the power button?
you still turn your computer off?
Power button!?! No, no, no... it turns YOU on!!!

And yes... in Soviet Russia computer turns on YOU...... is that comment dead yet?
Yes its pretty much dead.
Nice looking. I have to agree with Anthony that it would definitely overheat.
if the flow is set up right you can get away with just ventilating the top and back of the case. like intake up top and exhaust in the back. rig up the GPU heatsink to exhaust out the back and not the side. the hard drives would be the only thing i would worry about as they are usually at the front but they are low priority. this thing still has better air flow than most prefab towers out there.

Jeez. Great idea, but try executing this with better color and textures. That thing up there stands out like a sore thumb! And try putting a wood panel over the black dvd slot or make a black wood frame.... This reminds of stuff I see at Fry's, lots of third party vendors that didn't give two cents on design.
I agree with the dvd drive.. why would he not cover that with wood? kind of ruins it for me..
That would be great for an HTPC. Looks just like furniture. xD
It has high spousal approval.
Coming to a Chinese Massage Parlor near you.
...except for the power and speaker and video cables poking out the back.
This is great high-concept idea ... but I'd more likely take a low-profile HTPC that looks unassuming in the room.
... whoops - intended for Aaron's comment.
This is the perfect media-center setup. Nobody would know where your system is stored!
My Thoughts exactly......
swap the dvd tray with a slot loading drive, or put a metal flap in front of it and extend the eject button somehow and it would be another computer in disguise!
Except for the noise.
Damn that is so ugly I can't believe my eyes! o_O
Wow. Will be making one of those; that thing is beautiful. Then again, I've always been a sucker for Mission furniture.
Laz-e-boy and the mission style of design are about as philosophically divergent as one can get.
Mission: Accomplished
(Only for real, not like that war.)
That's actually pretty sweet! That'd be pretty awesome for a RAID NAS.
Darren, maybe you should read more carefully. It clearly says it has a Core 2... not i7. It's not a big deal this time, since the focus is on the mod, but it's still annoying.
Its a big box of ghey...
i hope there's a how to coming soon..
i want
