14 DAY TRIAL // Many people are extremely interested in the topic of “green” products nowadays (either genuinely or simply because it's trendy to do so), and for this reason, it should come as no surprise that many companies are trying their best in order to bank on this trend, including here Honch International, who's touting what they consider to be the world's “greenest” PC cases.
In fact, the manufacturer claims that the new products will be able to help Taiwan (as you might have guessed, we're talking about a Taiwan-based company here) save more than NT$6.6 billion (around 22 million US dollars) in electricity bills each year and slash global power consumption by more than 700 million kilowatt-hours every day.
Of course, end-consumers will also benefit from this power cost cuts, since every average household will be able to save around NT$1,000 (32 US dollars), namely one kilowatt-hour of power, about NT$3 for the ordinary family and NT$4 for a corporation, when the PC is used for 12 hours for a day.
Honch's PC cases employ an advanced heat-dissipation technology and are claimed to be the world’s first completely closed PC case made of special aluminum alloy that don't require cooling fans.
In addition to cutting energy consumption, the innovative PC cases create no noises and are free from dust and humidity (which means that short-circuits are less likely to occur, thus enhancing a computer's functioning life), and other major advantages include the recycling of up to 80% of materials used.
While Honch International does inform us that it is setting its sights on the 360 million desktop personal computers' market, including replacement of 200 million units and brand new PCs of about 100 million to 200 million units, they provide no info on the pricing for these “super-green” cases or their availability.
