Teenage Engineering, the hip Swedish tech/design brand that makes of all (and a portable game machine with a ) has built another computer chassis. And it’s free! But you also can’t get one, right now at least. (Sorry about that.)
Described by its maker as a “small form factor, mini-ITX computer case,” the is made of a single sheet of semi-transparent plastic with snap hooks and living hinges for screw-free assembly. The engineering wizards at Teenage Engineering set out to design the “cheapest computer case in the world,” and thanks to its intentionally minimalist design they were eventually able to settle on a price of $0.
The DIY computer case accommodates a mini-ITX motherboard, an SFX power supply and a dual-slot graphics card of up to 180mm in size. Given the comically affordable nature of the product, it probably goes without saying that you don’t get any other PC components included.
The Computer-2 is not the first product of this kind that Teenage Engineering has put out. It was preceded by 2021’s , which was similarly design-led but made of aluminum and notably not free. The new “computer case you can’t buy” is limited to one per person and Teenage Engineering has already cleared out its initial stock. You can to be notified if additional cases are released on the company’s website. We’ve also reached out to Teenage Engineering to find out if this was just a limited release or if they intend to regularly keep the Computer-2 in stock.
