Just a quick post about one of the coolest (and coolest-looking) things I saw last night at CES's Digital Experience event, a big pre-CES splash. Herman Miller is moving heavily into personal peripherals for the workspace, not just lamps, but also this snazzy gizmo: the C2 Climate Control unit from HM's "be" collection.

No, it's not a speaker, it's a combo heater and cooler that sits right on your desk. The C2 draws 60 watts of power and gently heats or cools the space up to about 18 inches in front of the vent. It even includes an air filter in the base, cleaning the air while it cools you down.

No knobs or dials, either: Temperature is managed with a touch-sensitive strip on the front of the machine. Price is $280 (hey, it's a Herman Miller product). A little pricey, yes, but you probably won't bother thinking about that while you're nice and cool and everyone else is sweating in their cube.

    haha, seems like a nifty little gadget. Im still in school and interning, I don't have to use a cubicle, so I don't really know if it really does get too cold.hot. I'd like to try it out though, seems quirky.

    Hmm...might be interesting to put one into a computer case and see what cooling benefits there are compared to water cooling and high fan noise.
