Saw this in making the news rounds, thought it might be of interest.
Not my cup of coffee, I like the electronics component look, Although this concept piece is modern looking in style, this seems also retro in that it is reminiscent of the prevailing early 20s -60s design philosophy of masking everything from phonographs to TVs as "fine" furniture.
"One of the designs from Becker's company looks more like a 1960s liquor cabinet than a PC, with its ovoid shape, chrome touches and built-in cupholder that doubles as a remote caddy. Becker said the design is intended to help PC makers start thinking of Media Center products as equal parts furniture and high-tech gadget."
