Custom painted whatevers are usually garish affairs — the gadget world equivalent of airbrushing a topless Valkyrie mating with a centaur on the side of your a-rockin’, a-knockin’ roadie van. Still, I really love this custom painted monitor by Smooth Collaborations: it looks exactly like one of the dilapidated green screen monitors I am perpetually running into in my post-apocalyptic Fallout 3 adventures.
It has some added features besides a coat of paint: a 3D mode achieved by putting on a pair of passive polarized glasses. But that’s the gimmick I don’t care about.
The price is high, but I don’t think it is too staggering for a custom 3D monitor:: $749, or in the parlance of the Capitol Wasteland, a bit shy of seven hundred and fifty bottle caps.

I’m so envious! You can run Fallout 3 without it crashing on you every 2-20 minutes? Arggh
This reminds me of how I’ve always wanted one of those monitors from Matrix, the ones with the bullet holes in them that still miraculously worked. I’d have even reverted back to 2-color screens (green/black) for that
We’ve got 4 of these at work. The paint job is fantastic.
The 3D effect takes a little getting used to, but is a lot of fun to play with. (Not that I’ve got a lot of time at work to play computer games).

You say that like it’s a bad thing.
