Those are so awesome, they make me want to run out and buy a desktop computer just so I can have the excuse to buy one. The Alchemist one? *GRABBY HANDS*
Dear God, please let the people at Apple see these and decide that what we really need is a super-retro Mac based on 17th-century design principles. PLEASE.
I don't have a desktop computer, either, but one can dream. The Scrabble one is cool, but I'd probably go with one of the Steampunk models (dunno which one, I love them all!).
That one doesn't appeal to my aesthetic so much, but it looks like all of these are custom, so I bet he could make a Mac version of the Alchemist, or even the Gothic whole computer. Y'know, if I had five or six thousand dollars lying around...!
This brings to mind Kage Baker's Novels of the Company. The immortal automata have Cabinets which permit me them to compute across time: I'm sure they looked a lot like these.

That? Would've been all the incentive I needed to keep from switching to Mac four months ago. Srsly.
