That’s right, Asus is coming out with cardboard computer cases for there ITX line, just reshape the motherboard box it came in to make your own case…
It sounds like a weird little experiment to me though, it might be a good idea for testing out a motherboard, but for a permanent solution I don’t think it’s a good idea. Still you cannot deny that it is pretty neat, you can just use the box the motherboard comes in as a case! This isn’t the first time this idea has come across, Hak.5 did a segment on this a few weeks ago, and cardboard box cases have always floated around the internet.
This definitely would not be a good idea with larger boards with hotter surfaces and more computer to hold together, but for your cheap piece of crap ITX board I suppose it fits to have a cheap piece of crap case.

I see many fires in the near future
Chance of fire is very low, but even with non-cardboard computers (Jared’s old Toshitba) I’ve seen fires so yes…
Many fires in the future… 😮
