Fashion PCs with an environmental conscience

If you're not sold on these environmentally friendly computers based on their unique designs, their names alone are worth giving them some consideration: Sarah and Nora.

Both are models made by an Irish company called Iameco, which prides itself on producing tailor-made computers in stunning wooden cases that are free of toxins. The unusual curved supports make an architectural statement, according to BornRich, "representing strength and load-bearing capacity." Their innards are nothing to sneeze at either, with typical models including an Intel Core Duo chip, 400GB SATA 2 hard drive, and more than 2GB of memory.

Following the sylvan theme, they come with a wooden mouse and keyboard as well. Not bad for around $1,550. And they won't be mistaken for a drum set.

Oh great. Go chop down some lovely Ebony (which is now a threatened species) just to make the ugliest computers ever. Very green. And a glass bottom? GLASS! How 80s.

how is it environmentally friendly if you have to chop down a tree to make it?

I like the fashion design. I wonder how heavy the thing is? What if you have to move it from one room to another? Definately something for the fashion enthusiast, but not for the geek.

Maintain, folks. Trees are a renewable rescource, ya know! The design is interesting, but if you're gonna go to all the trouble to craft a wooden PC box (and I wonder what consequences this has for cooling), couldn't you make them look nicer? They don't seem to be working with the grain at all, and the drive bay openings might as well be on any other metal or plastic PC case. How 'bout something more old-world? You could do a steam-punk Victorian design, or one of those '30s-'40s cabinet designs of the type recently featured here as an iPod-dockable radio/speaker system.

I guess the curved supports make an architectural statement but not necessarily a good one. In my opinion the design just feels unbalanced and strained aesthetically.

I love companies that innovate in its design and beauty in relief since taking into account the user's taste
