Heiße has created a computer case that is impervious to almost all of life's little (and gigantic) mishaps. The Concretronic computer case is made out of concrete, and was created for the Be-Quiet! Casecon Contest. The Concretronic computer case certainly looks to soundproof as well as blastproof. My favorite feature of D. Heiße's [case mod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeera-macforge) has to be the [concrete power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flux-se) and hard drive buttons. Check out the case above in all its glory and read below to find out more about the awesome and amazing Concretronic computer case. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Durable PC Cases:** Creating computer cases out of unusual materials like concrete could lead to the development of more durable, long-lasting and stable computer cases that could protect computer hardware better as well as prevent environmental damage to the computer. - **Eco-friendly PC Cases:** Making computer cases from eco-friendly and sustainable materials like concrete could be an opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint of the computer manufacturing industry. - **Creative PC Mods:** The creation of custom PC cases like the Concretronic could become more prevalent as people look to make their desktops unique, personal and a work of art. ### Where This Applies - **Computer Hardware Manufacturing:** Computer hardware manufacturers could explore making cases out of new materials to improve durability and stability of their products while protecting them from environmental factors. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** Companies in the manufacturing industry should look at ways to make their products more eco-friendly and sustainable to reduce the impact of manufacturing on the environment. - **DIY PC Modding:** As more people take to personalizing their computer hardware, there could be an opportunity for a new market for unique, custom-designed computer cases. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Alien-Inspired PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aftershock-pc-case.md) - [Sneaker-Styled Computer Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooler-master-sneaker-x.md) - [Full Concrete Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k-he-concrete-edition.md) - [Flat-Pack PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer1-pc-case.md) - [Alternative Material PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fractal-north.md) - [Elegant Open-Air PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cougar-cratus.md) - [Minimalist Computer Chassis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-2.md) - [Integrated Wood PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/montech-heritage.md) - [Minimalist Professional PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyte-revolt-3-itx-pc-case.md)
