Do you have money to burn?

Spiffy. I want one.

I just don't want to spend a fortune on a piece of equipment that will be obsolete before it even arrives. That, and the thing will likely die by the time it's 6 years old.

Cool idea, though.

I liked the stained glass one that lights up. That was kinda cool.

You know?

If you have some wood working skills, and could Geri-rig something up? You'd have an interesting shell for regular laptops.

I was contemplating that, Rev. Of course, that would kind of lock you into the same size laptop, when it comes time to upgrade.

Still. .. it would make for a good skill building project.

Interesting idea, and an intriguing woodworking project. But seems to me it would make the laptop heavy and bulky and defeat the purpose of having a laptop.

Plus, you have to worry about ventilation, and heat disbursement.

Just shows that there are people out there with too much money and other people with ways to help them spend it.
