Vent-Box PCs mount their components vertically to facilitate cooling of their tall and slender Aluminium bodies. Needless to say these curiosities hail from Japan, home of the Spherical PC. And we want one.
The VENT-PC1 packs in an ME6000 Mini-ITX board, 60GB 2.5in hard drive, 512MB memory and vertically mounted slot-loading DVD-RAM drive, all in an 215 x 118 x 170 mm enclosure (excluding the legs). The VENT-PC3 looks less like an occasional table and more like a rather stylish miniature radiator - this time in an 225 x 56 x 360 mm enclosure - and comes with either an acrylic stand or VESA mounts.
The A-Storage is a companion external Firewire drive in the same style, with 2 x 250GB 3.5in hard drives in a fault tolerant configuration.
