Now here's one way to stay green: use the motherboard packaging as a chassis.

I can't believe they didn't embrace the "green" idea and run rampant with it for good publicity. They are obviously not American-based. . . .

 

[Raid3r]

good execution.

 

[thrust2night]

Nice!! Now if only there is something they can do about the bland color. Also, how much are these going to cost?

 

[Darkerson]

Thats pretty neat.

 

[pocketdrummer]

That's a fire hazard... lol

 

[rpgplayer]

shoulda made it out of recycled Poly Ethylene (PETE). recycled PETE is pennies a .lb not to mention they could advert the "green agenda". stronger, lighter and longer lasting.

 

[christop]

They should call it the hobo case..

I don't know about anyone else but when building a new rig i choose my case first then fill it with AWESOMENESS!

is there some sort of clever joke in there that's going over my head?

 

[nebun]

stupidity....that thing will fall apart before you even turn it on

I have done this with a empty case of beer got all my parts for a micro atx htpc but the tower would be two weeks late I got impatient and put together in there.

Incredibly innovative from a Motherboard manufacturer, I hope they do this will all of their boxes eventually, because I like to test stuff before putting it into a case, just to make sure it works.

Nothing worse than having to put in a motherboard, find it's not working, take it back out again and back into it's box.

Hoboware?

Plus it would really simplify breadboarding.

 

[sunflier]

Seriously, though, I would worry my wife would throw it out thinking it was just more of my old computer junk.

Will cardboard suppress RF emissions, or will this machine fail to meet FCC standards?

 

[TeraMedia]

They should line the inside of the box with some kind of foil paper or paint to create the important faraday cage for RF radiation control. Add a cheap plastic mount point for the port panel and you really would have a working case.

 

[DSpider]

A potential fire hazard. Congratulations.

not good at heat conduction too

 

[blakeniel]

Come on, really… Don’t they care about people getting exposed to Gamma and Ultraviolet radiation? Just kidding, but still though.

 

[StuMan]

Very green, until it turns very red and orange... in a fireball.

 

[Milkym0o]

fire hazard much?
