Eco-Cize Your Computer Setup

Most of us spend quite a lot of time working on our computers throughout the week. Whether you’re really “working” or just “screwing around on facebook,” we spend a lot of time on our computers. The computer has also become something of an entertainment hub in most modern households. More people are getting all of their news and entertainment off of their computers every year. With the push toward online streaming movies, an internet connection can connect you to just about any movie you could imagine with the push of a button.

This is why it’s important to make sure that you have a good setup for you computer. A great entertainment setup for a computer will have great speakers and a great screen. But how do you find quality eco-friendly products like this? There are two that I’ve found that seem to hit the nail on the head when it comes to having a great entertainment setup at home.

22” Eco-Friendly Widescreen Monitor by NEC

This thing offers a great degree of versatility and an amazingly crisp picture for widescreen and HD. Not only does it look good, but it also performs amazingly well. A good percentage of the product is made out of recycled plastics and minerals. Also, it comes with an “Eco-Mode” function that makes the unit take up much less energy. This also lowers the heat of the unit while it operates, thereby increasing its life.

Eco-Friendly Speakers by Merkury

These speakers are a really interesting thing to have around the house. First of all, they have an exceptionally unique look to them. They look quite a lot like old, discarded boxes with speakers thrown inside. Of course, they look like this because they basically ARE a cardboard box with a speaker inside. What it lacks in “toughness,” it makes up for in sound and dynamic range. The speaker inside is actually of much higher quality than the box may lead you to believe.
