I was going to say the same thing! You spend all that work fussing over the wood craftsmanship (it looks like it took a lot of effort because its done quite nicely) and then you plaster it in stickers? That, to me, just made this art work tacky...advice: ditch the stickers. ]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/
I was thinking the exact same thing. Why design something nice and classy looking, and throw a bunch of garish stickers all over the front of it? ]]>Dec 10th 2009 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/]]>Dec 11th 2009 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/Dec 10th 2009 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/

I just made a nice casemod using a half wooden faceplate.
It was a little Mini ITX case, made a new faceplate for it, with a strip of varnished hardwood running down one side. Then the rest of the PC was painted metallic British Racing Green, with little exhausts for the fan output.

Looked kind of gay apart from the faceplate, but it was for a friend who loves Jaguars because he thinks he is some sort of gentleman...]]>Dec 11th 2009 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/Dec 10th 2009 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/Dec 10th 2009 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/foxconn-distracts-all-with-txm-355-bamboo-desktop-chassis-brews/...koala bears?

The Dell Studio Hybrid doesn't count as a computer with a bamboo FRONT cover to anyone. It's bamboo is on the sides.
