Coffepot Computer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the why-the-hell-not dept.

marshman113 submitted quite possibly the most important innovation in case design since the internal hard drive: here is a coffee pot computer. Yes this guy actually integrated two of the greatest innovations of mankind into one convenient case!

  4. Coffee by phunhippy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    2 greatest inventions... hmmm coffee? I guess a lot of people like coffee.. I find it personally highly revolting and disgusting...

    lets see.. take perfect pristine water and then add it to ground up beans and end up drinking dirty black water... hmm no thanks I'll pass.. hardly a great invention in my book..

    and why do people drink decaf?!?! thats even worse! your not even trying to wake up!! sheesh take some acid or somthing people! that will wake u up for sure!

      Well, we drink the "dirty black water" in the mornings to keep us awake since we drank too much of the "pristine water" with "boiled horse feed mixed with fungus and allowed to rot for a week" the night before and didn't get enough sleep.

  5. He only went halfway. by Fat+Casper · · Score: 3, Interesting
    If he had used a watercooling system as a way to heat the water for the coffee, then I'd be really impressed. As it stands, it's cuter than most box mods, but it doesn't break any ground.

    I guess this is the first time slashdot has slashdotted a coffee machine...

    I wonder if the coffee's heated with the CPU? Bet he'll be getting hot coffee now.

    (OK, I don't know whether it was hosting the pages, 'cause I haven't read the article, 'cause the article's been slashdotted.)

    Actually, SGI was there first quite a few years back, with the Espressigo. There's a picture at http://reality.sgiweb.org/eile/espressigo/espressi go1.jpg
    It's essentially an espresso machine in an SGI Indigo case.

    There are different stories behind it, but the most often heard was that it was a promo giveaway by SGI.
