名副其实的电脑桌
in Geeker Vision, on May 29, 2008
你家有电脑桌？废话，现在谁家没有。但不管是四条腿、三条腿甚至只有一条腿，你家的电脑桌也不如上面这张"名副其实"，因为它是真正的"电脑桌"。没错，它本身是一张桌子，但同时也是一部电脑。设计和Apple的Mac电脑风格很接近，但实际上它是一部PC，可轻松升级部件。在它的左侧，还整合了CDRW/DVD、USB接口及多个快捷按键。
这是 DDDXYZ 2007年的设计作品，因此你可能还无法在市面上买到这种实体电脑桌。但无可否认的是，除了美观、简约以外，这样的电脑桌还有个极大的优点，那就是当你家里被小偷光顾后，小偷很可能没想到这张桌子竟然也是一...
