Computer made of wood
Some people seem determined to try and make their latest bit of technology look as natural as possible, as if they had been hand-carved by an ancient craftsman.
This is a line of luxury computer accessories that are completely finished in a natural hardwood of your choice out of a selection almost 40 different woods. The peripherals offered include 17" & 19" LCD monitors and wireless USB mice & keyboards. Definitely a product aimed solely at the rich, a set including a monitor, mouse & keyboard using 'Class 1' wood (the cheapest) runs to a pricey $2,950 (£1,503). If you want the fancy Class 4 wood, the bill is upped to $3,775 (£1,930). 
But the wooden mice & keyboards were not developed solely as a flashy design statement - there is also a health reason for doing it; Some people are allergic to the plastic used in the usual computer mice & keyboards, because of this, they benefit greatly from using the wooden peripherals as they cause no allergic reaction.
They'll certainly make your PC look in-keeping with the decor.. if you live in a stately home. I think silver, black & white are as much of an improvement on the classic dirty beige as we need in our modern sometimes-minimalist world.

On a similar note; there is a new laptop case made of wood that has been made in Japan, you can buy it for just $238 from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) - www.momastore.org
