Student Designs Cardboard Computer Case

SpaceGhost writes "The Houston Chronicle has a story on a Grad student at the University of Houston who has designed a cardboard case for a computer. This is not a new concept, but this one is meant to be used in manufacture. The idea is that it will be faster and easier to produce (no fasteners for example) and dramatically easier to recycle."

    Call me when they invent cardboard solder.

    Call me when anybody gives a rat's ass enought to call you.

    Seriously, I hate that meme, it's such a dick of a thing to say that it makes me grumpy and causes me to jeer an otherwise good post.

    no but you made issues where there are none. Cardboard serves many useful purposes in homes and businesses without succumbing to any single one of your ridiculous "ways its a bad idea." Fortunately, I can dismiss them because you don't know anything about the material properties of corrugated cardboard.
