Room dividers are often very stylish and fashionable. This one looks like a rack-mounted compute cluster. Integrated LED lights in the panels add to the charade.

       Why can't it actually be a compute cluster? In the near future computers will be small enough to be integrated into clothing. That means they could be integrated into the cloth covering the average office-cubical divider. Already such a divider could be made of existing computer hardware....

       Presumably, because a computer of any reasonable practicality would be far more expensive than just the LEDs.   

       You probably could have a very small computer, like the Raspberry Pi, though. To drive the LEDs as a programmable display. That would be quite doable at relatively low expense.

       Nice [zeuxis]. I was also thinking of something like <link>.

       But if you did incorporate actual computers, you could snuggle up to it in the winter.
