Thinking Outside the Beige Box: Toronto designer crafts high-performance computers for the discerning consumer

摘要

Typically, personal computers are noisy, wire-entangled and downright ugly boxes hidden beneath a desk or banished to a; closet. For Howard Suissa, founder of Suissa Computers, technology should take centre stage. After all, personal computers have become storehouses for people's increasingly digital lives. Suissa says, his aim is to create heirlooms that his clients can proudly display to complement a refined lifestyle. In his company's North Toronto workshop, Suissa handcrafts custom computers aesthetically pleasing enough on the outside to sit side by side with sculpture yet powerful enough on the inside to put any upstart LAN party fanboy in his place.
