Re: FN-FORUM: Eco friendly computer?

what do you meen by eco-friendly? somthing that does not need much power? Or
somthing that uses no plastic parts and has nothing built in china? If your
just thinking of buying some cheap cases with low power bits in then imho
its not eco-friendly.

Also how will you send these out again most use some form of plastic/foam
packaging.
