Teenage Engineering, the Swedish design brand known for its stylish audio gear and creative electronics, has unveiled its latest quirky invention — the Computer-2, a small form factor PC case made entirely from a single sheet of semi-transparent PP plastic.
Billed as “the cheapest computer case in the world,” the Computer-2 is completely free, although eager fans have already snapped up the first batch, leaving it sold out on the company’s website. Those interested can sign up for restock notifications.

The Computer-2 is a follow-up to the aluminum Computer-1, launched in 2021 for $149. Like its predecessor, it supports mini-ITX motherboards, SFX power supplies, and dual-slot GPUs up to around 7 inches long. However, this new model swaps metal for lightweight plastic, folding together via built-in hinges and snap hooks to create a surprisingly sturdy chassis.
The case even features a convenient top handle for easy transport, and Teenage Engineering has posted detailed 18-step assembly instructions online. In a clever design twist, the motherboard can be clicked into place without the need for screws or brackets.
