I wanted my dock laptop to feel more like furniture - maybe nostalgia for the 'family room computer' from when I was a kid.

The box

It did feel different! But not too long after I went a pretty different direction for the room (less screen) and moved it down into the basement.

Still a good experiment in how taking up more space makes things feel different - I think about this a lot when breaking open electronics that have a bunch of empty space inside.
