Teenage Engineering – best known for its electronic instruments and slick audio gear – has announced a new computer case, a follow-up to its $149 Computer-1 released back in 2021, that it’s claiming is the “cheapest computer case in the world” because the company is giving it away for free. Unfortunately, the Computer–2 is already listed as sold out on Teenage Engineering’s website, but you can leave your email address to be notified of its return.
Like the original, the Computer-2 is designed for small form factor computer builds and has room inside for a mini-ITX motherboard, an SFX power supply, and a dual-slot graphics card that’s no longer than around 7-inches long – all of which you’ll need to supply yourself. But unlike the Computer-1, Teenage Engineering’s new version is made from a single sheet of semi-transparent PP-plastic instead of aluminum.
The chassis features plastic hinges and snap hooks and folds into a sturdy PC case complete with a carrying handle on top. You can check out the 18-step building instructions on Teenage Engineering’s website, and the company says you can even install the motherboard by just clicking it into place without the need for screws or brackets.
