The Philco PC is possibly the quirkiest PC design I've ever seen

Wow was about all I could say when I saw this little number today (via Retrotogo). I bought a Dell Studio Hybrid earlier this year and I love it for the space it saves, but this blows it away in terms of style and elegance.

It’s just a concept at the moment but if this design becomes a physical reality then I’d certainly like to see one in my studio. I love the screen based on a 1950s television design and the compact CPU unit with chunky dial and angled legs.

From the typewriter inspired buttons to the bevelled mouse and spirally telephone wire its takes vintage design and adds some modern oomph. I wonder if like the Dell Studio Hybrid this PC will require notebook parts in order to fit inside the slimline case though, which could be to the detriment of graphics card and upgradeability.

I’ve no idea on price or spec but I reckon I’ll have a good chunk of next year to save up!
