PC Tower? Treasure Chest? Antique Jewelery Box?

I don't like the monitor, keyboard or the mouse (back, baby, make them in IBM black), but the CPU tower looks amazing to say the least.

I wonder if the Amish might consider some side work?

What a market piece.
Common sense to some of us is unfortunately the higher education others strive to attain.

The closeup photo of the mouse makes me think it is made of mahogany, or some other hardwood that is so rare these days.
My dad makes hand built furniture and hand carved birds and wildlife, and I make custom built camera equipment, so it does not take long for me to recognize a good job by a skilled craftsman. Old world craftsmanship and new technology is a nice blend in my view.
Also, I grew up a short drive from "Amish Country". They are indeed, skilled craftsmen.

gatormodo,

That thing is hideous! But they tried at least.

Thank God beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I also think it is very unique and quite beautiful, if nothing else for the expert woodworking skills involved.

I was thinking the reverse - the monitor, mouse and keyboard look just conservative enough, yet nice. The case just looks too ornate though. A darker colour like rosewood would IMO be a bit more appealing.

Looks like great craftsmanship, but it's not exactly beautiful imho.
