DNA
Published by Sierra Monica B., on Mar 11 2008, in the categories: NextGen PC Design Competition
There is a personal computer concept designed in such a way to be so customizable that each model can be unique, matching users’ different personalities and needs, cultures or passions, that it can be associated with the image of the human DNA.
That’s why it is called the DNA PC, and in addition, the modular concept has also the shape, color and style customizable, but the main components are the projector, the keyboard, the power supply, while the core module connects to all the cube’s faces allowing the user to place it in any position, depending on the needs.
After drawing or sticking on the cubes’ surface, the user can purchase other modules separately, like peripherals and external memory.
Besides giving you the chance to get creative, DNA supports wireless connectivity so it can be used anywhere together with the modules you need for your work or for fun, because it is lightweight, small, each cube measuring 60 x 60 x 60 mm, and it is a great companion in any situation: when you are at work, at school or outside in the park.
You can see that the digital keyboard is foldable, with batteries that charge during the connectivity with the core, while the 40 x 30 x 15 mm-projector, that can reach 2D and 3D angles, is integrated into its module with chip, three lasers, and oriented lens, to be able to project in different angles.
If you would want to use the keyboard, you could easily fold it out and type on the digital keys, with the trackpad at your disposal on one of the faces.
To close the keyboard parts you have to use the silicon bands.
The battery module has a 50 x 50 mm photovoltaic panel, and the power supply module is made of the same foldable material as the keyboard, with photovoltaic panel to transform the light into energy, which increases its charging flexibility.
As an option you could use the charging cable connected to one if these faces, as the other ones feature normal plugs.
Basic hardware components are situated into the core cube, and here we encounter the low-power processor which leads to low heat and noise levels, the graphic card, a cooling system, the flash drive and the RAM memory.
The exterior materials used are recyclable. One of the options is Bioplastic, a heat resistant material like polypropylene, and it is known to use less than 30% production energy.

I believe that it is safe to do so and that it will not be detected by the people that enforce the policy. ,
