Automotive-branded computers are nothing new, but this takes it to new levels. Computer manufacturer SLI recently unveiled this PC encased in the Porsche rim.
The computer hardware is housed in a chromed 18-inch wheel from the Porsche Cayenne sport-utility, wrapped in Bridgestone rubber with twin exhaust-silencers housing the liquid cooling iron. The custom set-up was commissioned by Nvidia to showcase its SLI video performance platform, and really sticks it to all those fancy branded laptops from Ferrari (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/12/newest-ferrari-laptop-from-acer/), Lamborghini (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/01/you-had-me-at-contrasting-topstitching-asus-and-lamborghini-lau/), Koenigsegg (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/05/you-know-youv-made-it-when-koenigsegg-gets-a-laptop/), Maybach (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/02/hp-intros-maybach-laptop-with-64gb-solid-state-hd/) and (soon) BMW (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/07/bmw-gets-in-on-the-laptop-action-with-acer/).
