Eco Gadgets: Design Hara’s green computer features non-toxic materials

Eco Factor: Energy-saving computer made from sustainable materials.
Industrial designers have envisioned computers that generate renewable energy for power and are made using green materials. However, most of these green computers remain only on paper due to the lack of adequate technology. Hailing from Korea, Design Hara has come up with a custom and hand-built computer that looks like a modern space heater and boasts some green credentials as well.

The energy-efficient computer is claimed to use only 60Wh of electricity and is made using sustainable materials like Canadian rosewood or Italian cypress that are treated with non-toxic finishes. The computer boats an Intel Core2Duo processor, 4GB of RAM that can be upgraded to 8GBs and a solid state 1TB hard drive.
