  • a pc case made specifically for tree-huggers. lol

  • sooo basically your computer is the box my laptop came in..... amazing.

  • I laughed when you did that "Radioactive!" thing lol

  • Question is; Can you upgrade it?

  • This thing belongs at Starbucks (and B&N)

    lol this is their style

  • Wait, so tearing apart the each case is a real pain with a traditional computer but this thing just falls apart on it's own? What's so hard about taking out a few screws?

  • wow. Imagine if this computer doesn't get recycled properly the case will simply decompose. One would hope that the components would get properly tossed as e-waste.

  • Poor trolling.

  • The way I understand it, a metal computer case helps ground all of the sensitive computer components from things like ESD. This is why a computers made with plastic standoffs (instead of brass), or cases made out of some type of plastic (such as acrylic) in general have a much higher rate of hardware failure. Go metal cases.

  • @lshareknowledge a metal case is not just a ground plane but also a Faraday cage (EMI shielding)

  • This is so dumb that it should have come preinstalled with Mac OS X

  • meh, this is nothing new. The first computer I ever built, because I couldn't afford a case, was housed in a cardboard box....Most bad-ass computer I had ever had as a 15 yearold....

  • This is the dumbest idea I have ever seen and I work on computers every day.  On a good note though, the guy in the video sounds exactly like Rick Moranis (see end of video at 3:50).... think Spaceballs, the movie. lol

  • did you just say $199 for a piece of cardboard and a power supply? LOL WTF kind of retard would buy that? only a "gree" freak environmentalist would be that dumb and i guess thats who its marketed at

  • Be careful, Your computer will be overheat and your cardboard will be burn and caught fire. Be careful BUT your computer cardboard is very friendy envo, What about very special paint .... Fireproof paint ?? That's good idea !!!! I found in my computer from my hard drive was very hot

  • neat idea but I don't see myself using cardboard since the hardware I have would burn the cardboard.

  • I was only thinking of selling computers made from rare virgin rain-forest lumber, but now i HAVE to do it because of your vid. Thanks!

    Mahogany desktop here I come!

  • It's a good gimmick.. Why do people think gimmicks are alway directed as something bad.

  • Great Review - Thanks.

  • I lmaoed at 1:40 when he said: "Its not the case". HEHE

  • Computer cases are already recyclable. Since when are metal cases not recyclable? If you want a cheap case, just buy one sheet of plenary glass and mount the motherboard to that. Then wall mount it.

  • This is just plain stupid. There is absolutely no point in getting this thing. Case is usually the easiest part of your computer to recycle, and it's also the least changed part of your PC.

    So it's for people who heard recycling is cool and they don't think about it at all. You know what this case will cause? It will actually harm your beloved Earth even MORE, because of the poor stability for HDDs, which you will have to replace more often.

    Hopefully you at least got some money for this ad.

  • @ceeM the cardboard already came from a recycled source. I guess if you buy a traditional case from a recycled source it would be the same thing.

  • that computer is awesome

  • Once Again, Great review and Great Video!

  • @metalx1000 I'm falling in love with Kdenlive. :)

  • @trunkboy: That's Good. Now I just need to get you hooked on Blender 3D :)

  • Good ending:D

  • @SkyHiRider Thanks! I thought the text on the side of the box was particularly appropriate. :D

  • i believe its awesome and is lighter compared to normal desktop computers.

  • wtf ?

  • hmmm it would have quite a bit of air flow......
