"He reasoned that cardboard is more heat-resistant than many plastics, with a much higher fire and ignition point -- 258°C and 427°C, respectively -- where plastics begin to melt at about 120°C."

If you've got a fire, you're going to lose stuff either way  :t

Great Idea, pretty theft proof I'd think.

My wife would put a potted plant on top to help hide it and then water the plant and kill my computer.

No thanks.

It looks like my cat's scratching post...

when it comes to my computer, I'd rather go with something that makes an Arab happy (ie pastic) than risk getting my paper box wet accidently.

Does the site mention EMI?  I think you'd get a hell of a lot of electromagnetic "noise" from a computer built in that case...

That depends on what chicks you're aiming for. There ARE hot geeks and nerds. Like Erika.

EDIT: Wait, what kind of computer case does impress these supposed "chicks?" :lol Generally you either have a regular old case or some sooped-up massive glowstick that competes with the vacuum for noise level...either way I don't see it being much of a turn-on. :D
