# Cozy Computers Minuscule PC Living Room a Crafty Solution for Unwanted Processors By Marissa Liu | Published 2009-10-06 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pc-living-room References: [geekologie](http://www.geekologie.com/2009/10/little_family_moves_into_a_com.php) & [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2009/10/02/tiny-living-room-pc-casemod/) This PC living room is furnished with dollhouse fixtures including a sofa, cozy armchair and a little lamp (that actually lights up by plugging into one of the PC’s accessory power circuits). The tiny PC living room is perfect for a little family. This particular minuscule abode includes a gumball machine, a bottle of Coke and an edition of the New York Times. This is a novel way to recycle your old PC towers, especially if you strip them for parts and are left with a half-empty shell. Make you own PC living room or any room for that matter -- heck, you could even make an entire PC dollhouse. Now, that’s something a MAC can’t do. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Upcycling Personal Computers:** Repurposing discarded PCs for novel furniture designs is an opportunity for upcycling and reimagining electronic waste. - **Miniature Home Decor:** Designing miniature furniture pieces and home decor to fit unique living spaces or for collectors is a trend inspired by the Cozy Computers design. - **Integration of Technology and Home Decoration:** The combination of decorative and functional technology in home decor is a trend that presents new possibilities for designers and developers. ### Who This Affects Most - **E-waste Recycling:** The trend of upcycling personal computers presents an opportunity for the e-waste recycling industry to incorporate creative and sustainable solutions. - **Home Decor and Furniture:** The Cozy Computers design trend is inspiring the home decor and furniture industry to explore new ways to integrate technology into their products and designs. - **Toy and Collectible Industry:** The trend of miniature home decor and furniture inspired by the Cozy Computers design presents new opportunities for the toy and collectible industry to merge traditional and technological design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Design-Conscious Mini Desktop PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-mini-pc-am03.md) - [Retro-Style Mini Gamer PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-retro-mini-pc-am01-1.md) - [Cyberpunk-Inspired Gaming PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcube-gaming-mini-pc.md) - [Gaming Console-Inspired Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-windows-pc.md) - [Desk Display Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-pc-am03.md) - [Retro Puzzle Block Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-fan-build.md) - [Ultra-Efficient Keyboard PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentaform-abacus-pc.md) - [Computer-Equipped Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-coffee-table.md) - [Minimalist Computer Chassis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-2.md)
