Forget a coffee table book about coffee tables, Stephen Johnson has created a coffee table PC mod (not the only one, mind you) sure to be welcomed in any geek's home. The coffee table houses a computer with a 160GB hard drive, TV tuner and an LCD for weather forecasts. It's water-cooled, too, which is the international symbol of a computer nerd. Built-in Wi-Fi rounds out the package, so streaming downloaded TV shows syphoned off the Dark Net is entirely possible. Looks like Johnson found a clever way to integrate a computer into the home theater.

This coffee table mod will cost around $4,772. So, yeah, somewhat on the pricey side. – Nicholas Deleon
