MECO: Side Table Computing

The stealth living room PC. We don't know what's cooler, the fact that you have your home theater PC and associated equipment hidden away in a sleek package or what looks to be a motorized access door. The idea of hiding your tech in furniture is not a new one. We have seen home theater PC's crammed into Ikea footstools and even good looking PC's that have a reasonable chance of fitting into your living room. But is a stealth computer/ drink holder worth $4350? We actually first wrote about this in 2008, but with the price at $6100 back then, it makes $4350 look like a bargain.

052109 meco.jpg The DIY'er in us says we can build something just as good for less, but if you do have the cash kicking around and are seriously searching for a discrete way to keep high tech in your living room, there really is nothing else like the MECO DLSi7 around, stocked full of options like a cable card, multi channel, HD DVR, Blu-ray, home media streaming, 1080p resolution, 7.1 surround sound and drag and drop internet media. All-in-one indeed!

Our apartment is small, so instead of having a TV, our computer doubles as a TV. We added doors to a desk, so it looks more like a tidy cabinet when closed, but opens up the computer. Same idea, its our computer, TV, music player, and its all tucked away out of site except for the pretty monitor.

It doesn't control the window shades...yet.
