In a rather convenient fit of selective blindness, Iameco (geddit?) claims that its "Sarah" PC case is somehow eco-friendly. Why? because it "contains none of the toxins that have traditionally been used in computer manufacture".
Skipping over the fun thought that toxins are a "traditional" ingredient for computers, somehow tossed in like a legacy PS/2 socket, we get to the ecological hypocrisy. The Sarah is fashioned from Ebony, a wood which is, according to Greenpeace, quite rare:
Hopefully Iameco's €1000 ($1544) box is only using a thin veneer of the endangered hardwood. It certainly wouldn't be the only part of the machine that is skin-deep: the specs, too, are similarly shallow, if a little more up to date than the case's two year old design: Intel Core Duo processor, 2GB RAM, a 400GB hard drive and a TV and satellite tuner card (for watching nature documentaries, we presume).
It comes paired with a wooden keyboard and mouse, too, although sadly the keys are not made of ivory.
