A brown box is a hardware product that includes only the necessary products needed to install into a computer.
These products are generally much cheaper than a retail version of the product because it does not include the standard box and other miscellaneous paper inserts.

A computer video card that is a brown box will likely only include the actual card in an anti-static bag and the software (drivers).
