Tubby: When Custom Cases Meet Frosty Cold Beer

    Ok, I'd understand how it was cool if the peltier cooler from the fridge was part of the cooling system for the computer. But what's the big deal about putting a fridge in a box with a computer? It doesn't add functionality, it doesn't share anything sigificant in the way of function, and it's just plywood, taboot.

    If the case used the same cooling for both the hardware and the beer, now that would be something interesting. As it is, it's just a 7th grade wood shop project.

    Have you noticed how every case mod story gets put on a flimsy hosting setup and gets slashdotted in 2 minutes?

    USE FREECACHE!

    Then we might actually be able to look at it
