A Real Tabletop PC

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.

  8. 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!
