# Musical Computer Cases The Piano PC Case Mod from David Scothern Lets You Hide Your Workstation By Michael Hines | Published 2010-12-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piano-pc-case References: [walyou](http://walyou.com/computer-piano-case-mod/) & [lifehacker](http://lifehacker.com/5697234/computing-across-the-keys-the-piano-case-mod) I've seen a few [computer case mods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silverstone-flp03) in my time, but none like the Piano PC Case. David Scothern actually built a PC into an old piano that he bought on [eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypegolf-japan). Scothern originally intended to give the piano to his wife as a gift, but soon found it infested with woodworms and in need of major repairs. Instead of tossing it, he did what any geeky DIYer would do and created the Piano PC Case. The case houses three monitors and can fold down to hide the PC and peripherals from plain sight. Check out the Piano PC Case above and read below to learn more about this classical case. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Piano PC Case Mod:** Opportunity for computer case modders to create unique and personalized designs that also serve a practical purpose. - **Multi-monitor Setups:** Demand for computer setups that can accommodate multiple monitors for increased productivity and immersive experiences. - **Hidden PC Workstations:** Growing trend of hiding computer workstations in unexpected objects for a seamless integration into home or office environments. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Computer Hardware:** Opportunity for computer hardware companies to offer customizable case mod kits for DIY enthusiasts. - **Office Furniture:** Opportunity for office furniture companies to develop designs that seamlessly integrate computer workstations into stylish pieces. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior design companies to offer services that incorporate hidden computer workstations into decor for a minimalist look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timber eSports Computer Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyberwood-pc-case.md) - [Minimalist Computer Chassis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-2.md) - [Sneaker-Styled Computer Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooler-master-sneaker-x.md) - [Internal PC Case Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pc-case-desk.md) - [Flat-Pack PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer1-pc-case.md) - [Keyboard PC Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1999-keyboard-pc.md) - [Retro-Inspired PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro95.md) - [Special-Edition Wood PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proart-pa401.md) - [Retro-Inspired PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silverstone-flp01.md)
