I've seen things like this before and I do wonder about them...
I mean, I find that one my pleasures in woodworking is creating something that is of lasting value, that will be used a long time, perhaps even for multiple generations...
Computers, though, belong in the throwaway world. Every 3-4 years most of them get replaced. Even monitors usually have maybe a 5 year life.
(I'm not saying I agree with that, it just is that way. I do wonder if in my lifetime we'll get to the point that we actually keep a computer for 10-15 years -- and have it be useful!)
So, while I find these items beautifull -- and I do get a kick out of the roll-top cover for the monitor, that is REALLY original! -- It does seem a bit odd to put that amount of work into a disposable item.
Please, don't label me as contrary, just questioning...

Well, as one who makes his living in the computer world, NEVER will I let these two worlds collide.
I won't let the beauty and art of woodworking be tainted by the evil empire of the computer world. Never, you hear me, NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!:mad:

Great looking stuff, Boyd. I'm guessing these pieces are not inexpensive.
I remember back in the day when we had to carve our own computers out of wood. It was especially getting the hard disk working right, but as I recall, spruce has more RAM. ;)

Way cool stuff Boyd!
I especially like the tambour door on the flat panel.

Well you got a few eons sonny…I’ll tell you how we made ‘em in my “day”. Mind you this was before wood was invented.
First we would stake out a really gneiss piece of a mountainside…
Well, maybe too long a story for here.
Sorry,
Frank
