A concept computer system that sheds the traditional sheet-metal panels and circuit boards to become lightweight and inexpensive enough be included as a standard utility in office buildings. This provides building occupants with computer processing power as a basic utility service similar to electricity, water, and phone service. This concept won an honorable mention in the ID magazine annual design review.
