Eco

The Eco is designed around a low budget and low real estate idea. The small case is perfect for bedrooms and dorm rooms where space is at a premium, while the low budget helps save money for other expenses. Paired with a monitor, this unit will use no more than 200 watts of electricity. Over the course of a year, that’s less than your cable box.

If you’re looking for something for homework, office work, email, web browsing, or with some slight alterations to the design, a home theater PC, then the Eco is just what you need. If you’re looking to play newer video games, or wanting something to be a PC version of a game console, then you might want to look at one of our higher end builds.
