This is so stupid. So what happens when a new computer or monitor comes out? You toss the $55,000 piece of furniture for a new one?<br /><br />Besides there are computer desk that restaurants and hotels use to hide furniture already.<br /><br />Are we in 1999 or are people just still stupid?<br /><br />Jason
If you don't want to look at your computer when you aren't using it, save yourself around $53,000 and buy a nice laptop. The only people that will buy these things are those with more money than sense.
Not a terrible idea, however, only the rich would pay $55,000 for <br />a computer built into a desk. Maybe a paranoid business man <br />would buy one. I know I would never buy such a thing, even if I <br />were rich enough to justify the expense.
All I know is for that price, the hardware involved should be fast enough and smart enough to call maid to come dust it whenever it detects the need to. A polish on the brass knobs and handles wouldn't hurt either.
This is of course only for a select few... Even if I had that much <br />money to spend, I'd much rather spend it on actual technology <br />rather than furniture for my computer.
I agree that this is not for everyone.<br /><br />It is safe to say that we can replace our PC every 3 or 5 years. The problem with this product is the fact that we usually buy furnitures to last a lifetime, if not generations -- which we specially expect when it's wood.<br /><br />If it's modular enough with room for future PC innovations, it might be worth it. Otherwise, I'll stick to showing what I've got...
Anybody who thinks they can conveniently hide a PC in a desk <br />like that is nuts. I can just imagine the question being asked at a <br />party:<br /><br />"Charles, why on earth is your desk plugged in this wall?"
