Yeah good luck with that the first time you boss comes into bitch at you and spills his decaf all over it – or Randy and Tina are working late and decide to get frisky on it. Computers should be small and out of the way not made huge and non-functional like this.

It’s big enough that you wouldn’t have to make it into a laptop form factor (like the iMac), so there’s no reason why it couldn’t be upgradeable. Of course, “upgrade” for a lot of companies is synonymous with “new computer”, so the only way this would work is to have a rack-mount computer that slides into the side.

Maybe one day we’ll live in the world of Star Trek, with a computer embedded into everything.

I don’t see why I couldn’t make a table like this myself. If I could get my hands on a table, and find a computer to dissamble, then I’d just flip the table, add on an area to store the computer components. It’d be totally flipping awesome! Now I want to try it…

The first time you have to move Mike in Finance down to Sales, you’ll see.
