The Cheapest Linux Box Ever

**Overbyte** · October 16th, 2007

Some guy really went nuts on this one, a computer built by spending just $1 on duct tape

Link to larger sizes of the pictures: Here

Ubuntu Feisty OS: $0.00. Cardboard box: $0.00. Duct tape: $1.00.
Having the bitchin'est case mod this side of the trailer park: priceless.

Long Live Linux!

i would just like to point out that duct tape is conductive of electricty. I wouldn't want it touching the bare motherboard.

Also what do Mormans have to do with Microsoft or Linux?

There are so many old PC cases lying around, one could buy one or head to the dump. I don't see any reason why one couldn't just scavenge one that won't die with heat or water.

Where did he get the components?

We should be coming up soon to the Mac-o-lanterns. I've seen for the past couple of years somebody has taken a Mac or PC components and put them into a carved pumpkin. They inclcude a picture of the computer running from the PC-o-lantern.
