It's a PC ... and it's furniture!

With everyone going with the shoe-box shized PCs (Shuttle, etc.), why not take it a functional step further!

Soldam's PRISM Plus

Just think. You could put your stereo's sub underneath. Receiver and CD changer on top. Maybe a VCR or a DVR (actually, this could be your DVR!). Throw in a nice TV-Out display (for those without HDTV units with VGA inputs, hehe) and a wireless keyboard&mouse. This could be nasty!

Anyone have a currency calculator?

59,800 + 34,000 yen S/H

Off the top of my head, that's close to $900 shipped... And UGLY!!!

A good idea, though... I'm already drawing up plans in my head for a computer-in-a-desk...

Idea is good, the looks needs work.

You just given me an idea for a new wood project.

But... Not going to. Already finished a wood cube case. Don't want to start on another. 🙂

From NASDAQ's converter:

1) 59800 Japanese Yen (JPY) = 451.2867 US Dollar (USD)
2) 34000 Japanese Yen (JPY) = 256.5844 US Dollar (USD) using a conversion rate of 0.0075, current as of Jan 8 2002 12:00AM EST

$707.87 USD

I'm sure that this could be done much cheaper and is fully state-side. Could be a very cool project, nonetheless.

Some photos from Akiba from July 2000 (see date in URL)? Photos from a week earlier.

That date would partially explain the price drop. 🙂

I haven't been able to find a comparable product in the States. Any clues?

Looks like something you'd throw in the garage and rebuild an engine on! 😱
