Public Radio's Marketplace segment had a story about a German company called Holznontor that is selling computers made out of wood. This seems pretty fascinating. You can check out the details of the story on the Marketplace website or you can go directly to Holzontor's website (German reading skills are required).
There is also a group of computer "modders" that are doing some really cool things with wood and computers. Check out www.austinmodders.com.
Be sure to browse thru some of these images as well: iPod, redwood CPU.
