It seems like lately we’ve been seeing more and more gadgets being made out of wood; adding to the list is the Shadow external hard drive from Suissa Computers. The Shadow comes in a round wooden enclosure made from Maple in three different styles called the Silver, Natural and the Shadow Glass shown here.

Each enclosure contains a USB 2.0 connection to a 750GB hard drive housed inside. The box also has 4 USB ports and jacks for audio out and a microphone. The Suissa Shadow drives are designed to give you a functional external hard drive that breaks the mold of standard metal and plastic enclosures along with additional convenient ports that you can access within arms reach (since you will likely have this art-like piece sitting on your desk). The Shadow Glass pictured here has a glass-top finish and the company says that each drive case will have a unique design on it, which may differ from the picture shown.

The drives are available now for advanced order since each unit is custom built with a turn-around time that looks like about two months. The Shadow Glass model is retailing for $875 with the Natural going for $730 and the Silver, having a silver top instead of glass, is selling for $715.
