I am purely a functional man, when it comes to my machines (Normaly that is.)
My laptop is about the prettiest machine I have, and it is trapped on My Desktop in a docking Station 99.9% of the time it is on. My other machines are FrankenPuters, trapped under my desk (cases open, bazillion fans and drives everywhere.) Now that that is said, I just wanted to share a Mod... (stolen from SlashDot.org) I mean just cause I got a ton of crap boxen, does not leave one to construe that I cannot appreciate beauty. I mean "Hey!" I am at Wincustomize right? OK here is a Computer to lust after.
Here is the RETRO Mod, of my Dreams... (The Philco Predicta)

Now I remember as a child, watching the Moon Landing on an Old, Philco set.
My Dad was very fond of Philco products, I remember listening to Boxing Matches, on an old Philco wireless Set. Tuning into the World and dreaming of the Future. Man those were the days. Pop (Coloa) was still in glass bottles, Penny candy was actually a Penny, and you could walk to the park in Safety and actually meet people from the local neighborhood. Tying June bugs to a string and watching them fly around. Taking Actual Sunday drives with the Family, and making Icecream on the front, porch.
And Here is the Future Mod of my Dreams. (Orac3)

I think this has to be the most, bad, assed machine on the Planet.
