A Real Tabletop PC

Posted by timothy on from the moving-companies-will-love-this-one dept.

Xunker writes: "Sure, your modded case-with-window from ThinkGeek looks cool on your desktop, but it's nowhere near as cool as this case that turns your PC into your desktop. Drive bays, casters, fan ports and a glass top so you can see everything. With some uncontrolled overclocking you could probably use it to keep your tea warm, too."

    I will not be impressed until I can fit a PC into my coffee mug. With overclocking, my java will never get cold.

  3. They ripped me off. by TurboRoot · · Score: 4, Funny

    They ripped off my computer!

    My computer has been my computer for the last 2 years. It is a pentium 233MMX with 64 megs of ram and 2 hard drives. It has a DSL "bridge" above it.

    It was built into my desk and has survived 2 moves and lasted a long time.

      Maybe next time you'll think to get a patent. How hard could it be?

      You: I'd like a patent for my "Method and process for circumventing the expenditure of $30 for the acquisition of a case by making a total mess of my desk and failing to dust, to boot," please.

      USPTO Clerk: Sounds pretty complicated. OK, here you go.

    I'd be more interested in a case made out of that new-fangled transparent concrete. Granted that maintenance would be a bitch, but talk about uber-l33t!

  5. Ping pong table by Ukab+the+Great · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you made it a big bigger, painted it green and put a net in the middle, you'd never need Pong again.

  6. Cooling the table-PC by Zillatron · · Score: 5, Funny
    Would it keep cool if serveral fans blew in and there were many small holes in the top? If so just a few mods and it could be really entertaining.

  7. Waterproof? by lexcyber · · Score: 1, Funny

    Is the table waterproof? And is there any fish that
    survive in mineral oil? - In that case you can
    make a pretty cool aqarium.

    This is still the most creative use of a computer case that I've seen. Mmmmmm.... beer.

  12. Lego? by sunhou · · Score: 2, Funny

    The site is slashdotted so I can't see it. Is it made of transparent concrete Lego blocks, which are able to "trap light" and release it again, and when you look at it from just the right angle, you can see a picture of Calista Flockhart with a cartoon "speaking bubble" containing DeCSS?

  13. Drops iPaq into tea mug... by edremy · · Score: 3, Funny
    Yep, it fits. Given that the iPaq has a faster processor and more memory than the computer I owned previous to my current one, I'd say we're pretty much there. (Yes, my mug is large. Anyone with a small one isn't addicted to caffeine enough.)

    Now, anyone want a slightly damp, previously working iPaq? Going cheap!
