$200 CPU Stand from Neiman Marcus is Basically a Decorated Wood Box

I would expect nothing less from notoriously overpriced retailer Neiman Marcus than a $200 wood box. “Camouflage your computer’s CPU with this decorative wooden stand with intricately carved medallion”. I guess it looks ok. But that little matching keyboard holder under the monitor with the pull-out keyboard tray? Yeah that will be an additional $200. Recession? What recession? So that will be $400 for boxes to hide your $350 PC. Sweet deal.

Oh and it’s “Not compatible with Macintosh computers.” Yep, this wooden box is not compatible with Macs. Why not just say “not compatible with computers that don’t fit in the $200 box”, because that’s about the logic level we’re working with here? And shipping and processing will run you $42 for the CPU stand and $31 for the keyboard holder. Add in tax and we’re over $500. I’m buying a set for everyone I know. {Cue Oprah Voice} You get a $500 computer stand, and you get a $500 computer stand, and you get a $500 computer stand. {end Oprah}
