If your answer’s “yes,” then you might want to look into these Empty Vases.

Seriously, though, these Empty Vases are actually intended for dried flowers. Of course, you could just stick them into regular old vases, but they’ll just look much cooler in these hollowed out ones.

Designer Chen Liu’s Empty Vases look like they’re molded or shaped from rubber or some other soft material, but they’re actually made from ceramic. The cool thing is that they can also be hung on to walls to make for some truly attractive decor in your home.

Liu isn’t producing Empty Vases at this point though, so you might have to mold your own if you want one for yourself.

Don’t squint at the image, I’ll tell you what’s written on the card: the PC-in-a-vase runs on an Intel Atom 230 CPU, a Nvidia ION GPU and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM. The vase even has what netbooks don’t have: an optical drive, and it’s Blu-ray at that.

The refreshingly designed PC uses 2.5″ HDDs for storage. A power jack, 2 USB ports, an Ethernet port and an HDMI port can be found at the bottom of the vase, which justifies the raised wooden base. See? form and function.

The on/off switch as well as what looks like a vent can be found at the mouth of the vase.

Even though the PC-in-a-vase is just a concept, it’s proof of how far computer technology has come. And also how Brando-like ECS is. But seriously, ECS just made envisioning a future where computers are embedded into pretty much anything so much easier. I want a PC-in-a-wall.
