The Amazing Retro-Styled Philco Pc
December 14th, 2009
I love my laptops, but this amazing concept PC might just make us want to get back into desktops! This incredible looking PC looks like a retro-styled TV.
The Philco PC was designed by Dave Schultze, which was inspired by the classic Philco Predicta TVs from the fifties. It kind of reminds us of Lost in Space.
This cool desktop comes with a Steampunk keyboard and mouse. The keys on the keyboard look a lot like the ones you get on old typewriters.
This stunning piece of design uses a few interesting concepts. It looks very good and clearly takes us back to the ’50s.
I wouldn’t mind working on one of those, though I’m a bit concerned about the monitor. One of the great things about PCs is that you can just change components, like the monitor. It looks like this wouldn’t be possible with this design. However, it still looks beautiful.

looks…..amazing.
Glad you guys like my design. Was there a good reason you violated the terms of use and removed the attribution from the images?
They shouldn’t have been removed. I’ll get to the bottom of it and get them replaced with attributed versions.
Sorry about that, I just edited the post and added it in.
I think I need to check with yankodesign. The original images all had my website URL. Thanks for the quick fix.
I went ahead and replaced the top 3 images with the fully-attributed images from your flickr page. the only one without attribution is the keyboard, as I couldn’t find a version with attribution out there.
Thanks! I found the images on Yanko Design the way I posted them. Sorry of the misunderstanding.
