Last September at the Intel Developers Forum, Intel announced the Intel Core Processor Challenge, a design competition aimed at pushing desktop design far beyond its traditional “beige box.” To compete for a $1 million bounty, more than two dozen designers from around the world responded by building an array of cleaver home computer concepts that bear the high performance, low energy consumption benefits of the Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
On March 13th, Intel judges selected the top PC design semifinalists. The industry-chosen winners are scheduled to be announced at the upcoming Intel Developer Forum in Beijing, China in April. But you can vote and comment on your favorite finalists participating in the PC Design People’s Choice Awards, which are running simultaneously with the Intel Core Processor Challenge. If you’re an eligible vote, even YOU could win a $100 prize!

[…] Here is a great example of how not understanding design can get you into trouble. Apparently, Intel has a competition called the Intel Core Processor Challenge. It seems Intel wants to get manufacturers to “Think outside the big, beige box” (Um, I haven’t seen a beige box in years, where does Intel buy its PCs?) Check out this video and the “top designs”. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. […]

I did not finish my case in time for this challenge. People seem to like the design so far, especially the built in keyboard. Maybe there will be another contest. The link to my worklog is http://www.saxxon.net/reardiff.html
