Haven’t seen this before?  Hmmm… must be Mac-like…

Here’s a green PC that uses only 27 watts of power.  Well, we should see more and more of these green PCs pop up in the near future.

The working model is just that, a prototype, but if given funding and with the right marketing arsenal, a model for the masses shoudn’t be too far off. The green computer is upgradeable through the use of easy pull out modules, and runs the Windows system.

Here’s a cool PC, all made out of wood. Wait, is wood necessarily an eco-friendly thingee? Recycled wood maybe, just be careful that the PC manufacturers are not using “eco-friendly” terms to market the product when it’s really not.

In this case, I am not sure, anyone wanna clarify my ignorance on the matter?

This is the type of computer that every eco friendly person is going to want, it is sort of a cross between the style of the 1960’s and the technology of the today. Making it sort of eco tech in nature, but for this sort equipment you are going to have to pay the price, at the moment these computers start at around $1,500.

I am going to get one of these cool UMPC with WiMax embedded.
