    Look at the picture of the Computer table below and I wish I had one. Drooling over such an awesome geeky stuff, is kinda normal behavior for a technology freak like me :D . It got a wooden casing , a glass top and awesome looks. The original designer is Matt Trovey, and he posted it at this link. Later when i checked , i was not able to access the blog. The page was resulting in 404 error.

    The inspiration source was Chip trivet, and the final design consist of 434 discarded Itanium CPUs. Yeah you read it right !! Its 434 . :evil:

    Quoting the article at evilmadscientist

    Matt says that the list price for the lot of chips was over US$800,000 in 2006 and that the desk contains about 2.8 TFLOPs of computing power, about the same as 900 3.2GHz P4s.

    Well, it would be a great feeling working on such a CPU desk which you created with lot of hard work. Moreover its just soooooooooo Geeky :mrgreen: .. Damm !! I need one :twisted:

    @pavel , might be much costlier than that … the guy used all the used chips which must have costed him pretty high couple of years back.

    Does anyone know what he used to cover the chips in? I have a bunch of old chips laying around and I’d like to make a desk like this of my own (they aren’t all processors like this desk but I still think it would look cool)
