Aquarium Modcase

  1. Aquarium Monitor by kyoorius · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I did an aquarium monitor roughly a year ago.

    I can't see their website now because it's /.'d but it would probably complement the case.

  2. Running? by Bobman1235 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    From the pics it doesn't look like this "computer" has any computer components in it. Like, drives, a motherboard... anything? He mentions having a hard drive mounted on the bottom, and I see that picture, but other than that... Is this a case mod or a fish tank in a computer case? I'm not very impressed by the latter.

    I suppose this could be better explained if I could read German.

  3. What I would Actually like to see. by SubjunctiveSam · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yawn.

    Here's an idea for a casemod that would actually impress me:

    Get some expensive pure water, some with NO corrosive dissolved oxygen, and completely electrically neutral, meaning no OH- and H+ ions. I realize that water is self-ionizing, so the removal of these ions might need to be continuous.

    Unpack, assemble, and run your awesome computer in a container full of this stuff.

    I don't care how expensive or chemically unfeasible that would be, but that would actually be impressive. I've heard of computers running submerged in vegetable oil before, since vegetable oil is made of large covalent molecules, but I don't care. I want an underwater computer.
