The
Philco PC by
Dave Schultze is pretty much a re-imagined Philco Predicta—a short-lived but ridiculously iconic television from 1954. Then there are other fantastic touches as well, like a typewriter keyboard and a mouse that looks like some sort of repurposed handheld sander from an era when men in gray flannel suits didn't shave, but straight-up ground stubble into submission.
It runs on the latest Windows 7 operating system though, but seeing that this is but a concept at point of publishing, to heck with specifications as those are only limited by your imagination. How would you like to see future computers and desktops come in such a form factor, or do you prefer those boring and old dark-coloured designs instead?
Thanks for the post. We also have a fairly cool video. Check it out at http://www.vimeo.com/7951005

I didn't spot the video, thanks for pointing it out. I did wonder whether there was some steampunk influence there somewhere!
