Philco PC concept makes the 50s seem less lame (video)

Wow, just wow. This retro Philco PC concept has us basking in a stew of our own biological lust. Designed by SchultzeWORKS design studio, this retro rig combines design elements of the 50's classic Philco Pedictas television, antique typewriters, and just a hint of steampunk. Granted, it doesn't have the clean, minimalistic form of modern designs that appeal to the mass market. But really, isn't that point?

Philco PC concept brings back the 50s in true hipster style (video)

50's Retro Modern >>>>>> Steam Punk

What's not 50's compatible is the Windows's logo :-)

That's wicked. Too bad it runs windows.

[NYNY Posted Dec 14th 2009 10:29AM]

I want one!

[schultzeworks Posted Dec 14th 2009 10:38AM]

Its a concept, so hey, it can run any OS or be any color you like.

"...has us basking in a stew of our own biological lust."

uhh, you guys do that at work? Kinda gross, man.

I like this, but I'd like it even more if that was a Linux boot screen.

Regardless lets be honest with ourselves, we'll never see this, by time marketing tries to cheese this thing down to $500 all that metal will be replaced by metal looking plastics and the whole thing will look like a cheap creation from the 80s.

You'll put your eye out kid!

[chadow Posted Dec 14th 2009 12:30PM]

I would buy it right now, if it were real and available.

[ampace Posted Dec 14th 2009 12:31PM]

I have to admit. I'm kinda stoked on the whole "atomicpunk" theme. I'd like to see more of this stuff.

[fourblades Posted Dec 14th 2009 1:04PM]

I want one! I don't need one, but I want one!

[elwood Posted Dec 14th 2009 1:22PM]

*Applause. Always great to see more thinking outside of the box.

[savagemike Posted Dec 14th 2009 2:51PM]

This thing is retrotastic.
It is awesomeness in a curvy orange box and I want one.
I think they would sell like hotcakes.

I dig the keyboard.

[wildog426 Posted Dec 14th 2009 4:04PM]

Looks nice, but the orange has to go

[schultzeworks Posted Dec 14th 2009 10:04PM]

Its a concept, so yeah, it could be any color you like. How about carbon fiber and chrome? Done!
