Suissa Computers - by Tim Yu
January 10, 2007
It's no secret that personal computers have
taken center stage in people's increasingly
digital lives. If the recent news from Apple
and launches at CES are any indication,
they're increasingly evolving beyond the
dull, noisy, wire-entangled boxes we're used
to. Even better than the gadgety and
artificial look and feel of the new
computer-based devices we're seeing, Howard
Suissa uses his sound understanding of
interior design and the architectural
processes to make computers housed in a
handsome chassis made from hardwoods.
Yuki (pictured above left) goes far beyond
any standard desktop. It comes perfectly
setup up for entertainment purposes (watch
out Apple TV) and the internal layout of
Yuki creates an ultra-efficient curved
airflow chamber to keep your room cool. The
wood insulates the sound resonance of the
already quiet components, reducing noise
even further. It's available for around
$5737.
You may have already seen Suissas around,
but for those in search of a computer that
looks like something out of a Curiosity
Shoppe, the Revolution (pictured above
right) is a new cylindrical-shaped computer
with glass housing that allows viewing of
internal components. Launched last month,
models start at $6503.
Suissa offers custom packages for the
internal set-up on all the models in the
series, but he also makes built-to-order
commissions with the woods and details of
your choice and tricked-out machines to suit
your needs.
