In a world where originality and personification is key to making a good impression, the new computer case styled by Frank Lloyd Wright designs and produced by Jeffrey Stephensen is quite the show-stopper. The Jeffrey Stephensen Wood PC, with its [retro look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maingear-retro98) that eludes to 1950s glam and glitz, is supercharged to handle the needs of a tech-savvy user. The [hand-made case is finished in mahogany](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flux-se) and aluminum accents and has a fan-less [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro95) Core i3, 256GB SDD and 8 gigs of RAM incorporated. This voguish gadget termed the 'Aerodyne' is a limited edition, as Stephensen will only make around ten for sale-order basis.
