Modding casemods in wood was perhaps green by some standards. Good for us. But for Houstonian Brenden Macaluso who’s designed a cardboard PC, the “Recompute”, it may not have been just there in his books of sustainability. A crude illustration of how to implement sustainability into design, the cardboard computer here is done without the fasteners and screws.
With nothing to send to the landfills besides the innards of course – when the computer is not required anymore, this casing can be the greenest we’ve seen in computing’s green fetish. The computer has its own cooling fan, while the power supply and mother board are kept isolated from each other so that heat from one doesn’t affecting the other, it is also easily cleanable. The computer born of Macaluso’s graduate thesis at the University of Houston is complete, but the genius is not for sale or being mass produced, yet. You can take tips to build your own though.
