Getting Wood
WE'LL GIVE A pass to the awful PC design of the past 20 years as a trade-off for rampant technological innovation. But if we're going to stick a box in our home today, it darn well better be pretty. With handsome chassis made from your choice of hardwoods, Suissa's line of computers (suissacomputers.com) provides an antidote to the beige box. You can customize the machine's guts to your needs. The Yasuko, shown here in walnut and zebrawood, starts at around $6,000.
