Asus Motherboard Box Doubles As PC Case

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday March 2, 2011 @09:28AM from the two-in-one dept.

itwbennett writes "Taiwan's Asus has a novel idea to cut down on shipping waste: What if the shipping container became the PC case? That's the idea behind a box the company will begin using to ship one of its Mini ATX motherboards. It holds the motherboard snug for shipping and is constructed so additional components required to make a PC can be added, said Debby Lee, a spokeswoman for the Taipei-based company. An example of the box is showing at this week's Cebit trade show in Hanover, Germany."

Maybe if you coated the cardboard with an aluminum/iron oxide paint so that it'll reflect heat better?
