XYZ Computer Desk Is the Computer Itself (Verdict: I Want One)
Taking the top out of desktop, the XYZ Computer Desk is actually the computer itself, a PC table made of chromed legs and some kind of polycarbonate top, with ports and optical drive on the side, and plenty of room for expansion and clutter. And while the screen is too small for me, it is oh-so-pretty that I want to build it, even if it goes against my religion. [BornRich]

So it’s like a chin-less iMac? With free table attached? This baby had better be amazingly expandable to warrant me thinking of opening my wallet.
And what about the safety precautions? How does heat dissipate from the processor under load? Will this table get hot to the touch (Where should I avoid leaving my CD/DVD blanks)? Is this a table where I can’t leave my magnetic toys lying on for fear of wiping it? I only presume that you have to clear half the desk to upgrade a component, but admittedly that is not so bad.
What about static electricity (or going live) if the power supply severely breaks? The ports seem to all be out of sight (and reach). I am very sceptical about the practicality of this design.
I’m sure this will find a market. Maybe I’m just too peripheral-focussed. Most things I find can be done with a USB or Firewire peripheral. I suppose we’ll just have to see what happens.
this is an amazzzing idea and you should totally look in to making this into a real product because i would totally buy this wow jeez undescrible words for this idea!!!!
