The problem is computers are an invention native to our post artisan, massanufacturing era. An artisan who makes a table, a gun, an 1800s cash register, crafts every part by hand. He hammers out the firing pin, he carves the tongues that hold the drawers together. This "artisan computer" is just a case. Everything inside it was mass manufactured. It's veneer. It's wood and chrome switches to hide the truth. There is room for compromise on this. You can create unique, beautiful, interesting computers with the fact that the components will be mostly.off the shelf parts. It's not going to be carved form wood and inlaid with gems. It's probably going to look like something out of Fallout.
