Tux-shaped computer runs Linux

Appropriate and cool! Yes, this is not just a case for those of the penguin variety. This Tux case as it were, is a clever combination of modding and branding - all rolled up together.

Acme Systems is shipping a Penguin-shaped case for a tiny SBC (single-board computer) powered by an innovative MCM (multi-chip module) that runs Linux. The 6.7-inch tall, 30-Euro “Tux Case” houses the company’s “Acme Fox,” a 2.6 x 2.8-inch, 100-Euro, RISC-based board with Ethernet and dual-USB interfaces, and surface-mount connectors for other I/O.

Acme is based in Italy, but offers an English translation of its website that explains, “TUX Case is made up of six coloured parts in PVC: pecker, right and left legs are yellow, tummy, face and eyes sockets are made with one white part, front and back half are black.” Source: LinuxDevices
