Wall Mounted Fireplace

Ok, so maybe installation isn’t as easy as hanging a picture since you do require a natural gas hookup, but I bet this will draw a lot more attention than a photo of the family dog. And besides providing obvious mood lighting and extra heat the Vertigo also has a patented catalytic system that will burn off the odorous and stale air in whatever room it’s mounted in. [via]
For the style $2,400 doesn’t seem like that much. It can mount on on ANY wall but requires a natural gas hookup, which will cost more of course!

I would use a wall mounted TFT display… The necessary heat would come from graphics card running the “fireplace” screensaver and processor doing the SETI calculations..
I’m with you JJ
I usually have more to say, but JJ said it all.
Oh, wait! I wouldn’t run the SETI stuff, I’d run folding@home, or something that’s actually beneficial. I have a hard time believing that we’ll find direct evidence of alien communications with our current level of signalling technology. I’d rather serve the immediate medical needs of society. I just wish there was a distributed model for solving AIDS or sequencing DNA to find diseases.
Lemme know if you know of any.
