The boutique computer

I wonder if they'll eventually be more firms like Netbox to provide less generic computers? The selling point is the design, the technical specs are good enough for general work but it certainly looks better than the three beige boxes I've got at home.

Check out Falcon Northwest (http://www.falcon-nw.com). In a sense, these are standard PC's with AT-compatible motherboards; however, they're built to order, and you can get car-quality paint jobs (15 coats of paint) with custom designs and full control over the internals and peripherals. I recently read in an article (sorry, can't remember where) that the "high-end, custom" PC market is the fastest-growing segment of the industry. Posted by: Glen Campbell on November 1, 2002 11:39 AM
AlienWare is another company that makes money selling non beige boxes. Targeting gamers in their case. Posted by: Alex on November 1, 2002 12:34 PM
