Desktops are dead! Well, not quite, but the beige boxes so many of us grew up with are, and have long been, on the wane. The next, possibly redemptive step for the desktop PC? Decoration. And why the hell not? More »
The world’s number one consumer of wood for casemods, Jeffrey Stephenson, has created another machine called the Pico Bayard. It’s got a 1GHz Via C7 CPU, an 8-inch EarthLCD touchscreen LCD on the front, 1GB Crucial DDR2 memory, and integrated Wi-Fi.
Jeffrey Stephenson, the man who first looked at a cigar humidor and said, “I can turn that into a PC,” has made another Art Deco PC out of wood. The G-metric Nano, which will be unveiled publicly at CES this year, is the smallest enclosure Stephenson could design that contained a VIA NX15000 Nano-ITX mainboard, 1GB of RAM, and a slot-loading DVD player. The case itself is hard Pennsylvania cherry, but Stephenson’s signature inlay is done with walnut, mahogany, basswood and cherry veneers. The feet serve a dual purpose of adding style and hiding the fact that the large heatsink extends out of the box a tad. [Jeffrey Stephenson]
