The '50s are back and making its way into the design of everyday gadgetry. If you are a fan of Apple's personal computers I bet you will dig this concept for a home computer. The "Philco PC" takes its inspiration from the 1954 design classic Philco Predicta, as well as an eclectic mixture of modern minimalism, the steampunk movement, and antiques. Sadly this is still just a concept and the images you see are 3D rendered, but Shultze Works who are the creator of this little time piece, hope that a electronics company will pick it up and start to manufacture it in a near future. What do you think? Would you like to have the "Philco PC" in your mid century inspired designer home and how much would you pay for it? Continue reading to see more images and a video of the PC.

    I wish someone would pick up the design and run with it, even if it were just the case, monitor, and keyboard. Then I could build a machine to suit me.
    It certainly has the right look to hook retro-nuts like me.
    Might be the only time a computer catalog would offer something in "aqua, coral, or salmon"
