As I have been uncluttering I have found it easier to create a small mod to existing furniture than to buy new furniture. For example, I haven’t really been all that interested in charging stations, because instead I just cut a small hole in the back of a an old desk in our living room, tied up a couple zip ties, and now my charging station is conveniently located inside of a drawer that was being wasted anyway, and still keeping my electronics neat and organized.

And I agree quite highly with the above poster: enclosing a modern CPU is a bit dangerous. My suggestion would be to buy a more attractive case, a laptop, or get a mac if looking at it bothers you.

Anyone else find it bizarre that these tech-oriented products are designed in a faux-antique style?

I don’t really care for Pottery Barn either, but I was surprised to notice on their website recently they have a lot of really great, useful office stuff. Did you happen to see their clear alternative to a white board?

I left America shortly before the Pottery Barn craze hit the west coast, and last year when I went to visit family I went in to one for the first time, and I was accosted by an array of tacky, overpriced furniture so hokey and pseudo-country that not even my grandmother would like it. Their Smart Technology range confirms my suspicion. Give me sleek Ikea any day of the week.

Crate and Barrel Have nice solution for flat screen TVs and cable hiding also, not to mention it looks amazing. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=994&f=22294

Stay away from Pretend Barn if you can. Their stuff is designed to disintegrate after 2-3 years. They are one of the highest margin retailers around, so you get a lower quality-per-dollar than most of their competitors.

It’s still only 1/3 the price of a Rotaliana Multipot.

Goodness – 79 bucks for the recharging station! Is that lil drawer lined with platinum?

I am not so crazy about the turned legs on the Leah Desk or the flip-up mirror thing, but the functionality of the wire-hiding design is intriguing. I do so hate wire spaghetti. Ugh.

I have to agree PJ. Brian usually knows what he’s talking about. He’s also pretty good at psychology.

I would never use an enclosed CPU pedestal for a high-performance gaming PC (which would generate a lot more heat). I might, however, consider using one for a basic low-end workstation.

It also might keep the noise down a bit.

Are CPU pedestals a good idea? Ventilation is very important for the health of processors and video cards. An attractive case is a better bet than a CPU pedestal.

I happen to quite like Pottery Barn, but my wallet does not agree. My wife has been relegated to shopping at the PB Outlet to get her fix.
