    For some reason, I just have this image of something going wrong, with electric current flowing through the water and frying whatever fish are in the case...

      Give a man fried flounder, and you feed him for a day.

      Teach a man to case-mod, and feed him for a lifetime.

    No, no you route your watercooling system to use the aquarium water. Keeps the fish warm and your processor cool (tropical fish like warm water). And you can get fish to eat the algae.

    You know, if you used the aquarium as part of your cpu cooling system, you can have pre-cooked fish for every meal! Very efficient, cost-effective, and downright healthy!

    From the site:

    "Sa plumpes de i akvariet, og en god ide er at lade 3 af fiskene svomme den ene vej og 3 de 3 sidste den anden vej, idet de ikke kan vende sig rundt, nar de er kommet i."

    Which translates roughly into (its danish):

    "Next they are put into the aquarium, and it is a good idea to let 3 of the fish swim one way and the last 3 the other way, since they can't turn after they are put in."

    Isn't that slightly cruel?
