Compute THIS!!

Dude, you're getting a whole lot better, Dell!

Did you ever think your old detergent bottles and milk jugs would be reincarnated and come back as a computer?  Well, this year at the Fortune Brainstorm Green Conference, Michael Dell (CEO) unveiled the future of computers. 

With a bamboo-coated shell, this baby is 81% smaller and uses 70% less energy!  With a price tag of $500-700, we can actually bring this great idea home.

This isn't the only green project Dell has going on.  Here's what else they're up to, according to awesome eco-blog Cause Encounters:

They have partnered with The Conservation Fund and Carbonfund.org and launched a program called Plant a Tree for Me. The objective of this program is to make it easy and inexpensive for people to “go zero.” To “go zero” means that you measure carbon emissions produced by the power that you generate using electricity and then offset those carbon emissions by planting trees."

"Secondly, Dell offers a recycling program. In this program you can drop off your old Dell computers at a Dell store and Dell will have it recycled. Finally, Dell Headquarters in Austin is powered 100% by renewable energy."

Dell hasn't named this computer yet, but I have an idea:  The 'Bout Time Machine.

This is fantastic!!! I'm so impressed with how green this computer is- and how good it looks! This is a sexy desktop- something I don't think I've ever said before. I've liked Dell though since they got the 'Dude you're gettin a dell' guy. Three cheers for innovation.

after decades of ugly PCs this is a breath of fresh Air, I bet just as many people will buy it for the look then for it's green factor.
