The Mac Pro's industrial design deserves a equally sleek cabinet -- assuming you are into the techno-steamtrunk scene. Monolab Design's one-of-a-kind aluminum Mac Pro trunk fits the bill nicely and even includes a built-in display, stereo speakers and an amplifier.

The trunk started life as a modern interpretation of a Louis Vuitton trunk that could be left at hotels between stays, but quickly changed when Ismael Ghalimi realized that it was a perfect match for Apple's PowerMac G5 tower computer.
The trunk is now home to a Mac Pro with 4TB of storage, an Apple 23-inch Cinema Display, a Music Hall Mambo amplifier, and a set of Weburn loudspeakers from Vienna Acoustics.
At five feet tall and 300 pounds, the cabinet isn't exactly portable, but it makes up for that with its looks.

Definitely an act of love.
Reminds me of my parents "sound system" when I was a kid. It had the TV, record player, FM tuner, speakers all in one console that looked like a wooden refrigerator.
Oh God! I am old enough to be your father.
Seriously, it is amazing to me how technology has shrunk things.
