Here are more items to go with your wooden multimedia computer and wooden LCD.

Wood Contour offers computer peripherals in a variety of woods and "stone." Depending on the materials you choose, a USB keyboard, USB wireless mouse, and a 17-inch or 19-inch LCD monitor is about $3,775.

While the items are pricey, the options are plenty. The wood peripherals, noticed by BornRich, come in about 20 types of wood from beech to ziricote.
