Dell 'O Project' PC is part green computer, part potted plant
When Dell commissioned a design contest for green computers, Mexican industrial designer Luis Luna took the term "green" literally. He created O Project, a design concept featuring a couple of round PCs that take Dell's bamboo-clad Studio Hybrid idea a step further, adding a place to grow a small plant inside.
While that tiny organism planted within the machine isn't going to gobble up even a fraction of the CO2 created during the manufacture and use of such a PC, it certainly cuts down on the visual pollution of most garden-variety beige box computers, and gets you at least thinking green.

Nice, especially the vertical version, though I trust parts are waterproofed, come feeding time! Let's hope the dull logo is a peel-off sticker.
However, many of us have integrated computers (iMac et al), and I suspect only power-users are going for towers in future - and they are unlikely to want a built-in plant featurette.
