Here at powerTV, we live in the part of the Venn Diagram where cars and computers overlap, but this might be a little too much even for us… PC Rides is building a licensed replica of the 2010 Chevy Camaro with a Windows PC stuffed inside. Measuring 21 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 6.25 tall, it’s got an Intel Atom D525 Dual Core 1.8GHz processor under the hood.
But nothing we can write does justice to the ad copy, so let’s let PC Rides tell the story:
“Built inside a detailed replica of one of America’s legendary automotive brands, PC Rides® Personal Computers are designed to bring a new dimension to computing with a dramatic shell design (“Patent Pending”) and an exciting user experience. PC Rides® combines entertainment, work, and play into a lifestyle-enhancing, car enthusiast’s dream.”
Girlfriend or wife objects to having a regular PC sitting next to the TV? She’ll love a light-up toy Camaro with wires coming out of it!
“Ever wonder why people don’t hook up their desktop computers to LCD TVs in their homes? Standard rectangular shaped computers are unattractive, bulky and do not blend well into living room decor. PC Rides® has brought an “Out of the Box” design to Personal Computers, a perfect addition to your living or work space. Enjoy the theater experience in your home by playing your favorite movies or connect gaming consoles directly into the trunk of your PC Rides® computer.
Download your favorite movies, shows and games to the ample hard drive without the need to connect external game stations or other devices that would clutter up your living room. Unlike a bulky, unattractive standard desktop computer case that you might hide under a desk or in a cabinet, you’ll be proud to display your PC Rides® unit when entertaining guests.
The PC Rides® form factor presents a unique, decorative conversation piece when displayed on a table or media center shelf, while enhancing your living room with a flare of color and lights. The system can be enhanced by connecting a wireless keyboard and gyroscopic mouse to your HDTV through the HDMI cable, elevating the home theater experience to a new level.”
