Suissa recently released their newest wood encased computer called Enlighten. Their unconventional-looking PC case, relates to our changing uses and understanding the proceeds of our personal technology. Then, it looks more like a great bit of art deco furniture or a retro speaker. The Enlighten in fact is a custom wood, metal and glass case with separated components to boost cooling (they don’t discriminate on processors either - AMD or Intel).
“Enlighten’s design dissipates heat through the use of aluminum around the power supply and DVD drive and through careful venting of air into, around and out of the main housing. By separating the power supply and DVD out of the main housing, we have been able to avoid a cascading heat effect found in many computer designs.”. Interestingly, the system is designed so that you don’t need many fans.
Because of its unique form factor, Enlighten comes with a technology package slightly different than the rest of the Suissa collection. In this sense, the Enlighten is more of a small factor HTPC, which, nonetheless, integrates some quality components such as: integrates a micro ATX motherboard, Intel Quad core CPU or AMD X2 6400+, single NVIDIA 8800GTX video card or ATI Radeon HD2900XT, 4GB PC6400 RAM, 1TB hard drive space, DVD burner and a 620W power supply. Pricing is on application, which isn’t too much of a surprise. You’ll have to be quick, though: Suissa are only producing the Enlighten as a limited edition of just ten machines. Even if you’re too late, however, the company does take on custom commissions.
