Tubby: When Custom Cases Meet Frosty Cold Beer

trs9000 writes "Going a step further than your average case mod, Tubby includes not only a nice wooden casing, but also a built-in refrigerator! You dont have to get up for a refill! Tubby's homepage has specs and pics of the process. Images are also here and here."

All that's left now is a pizza sized oven, and I'll be set :)

Frames

At least he used frames, so while his site slowly bogs down to tortise speeds, and eventually dies a horrible death, I can still look at the navigation.

I want a KEG

I'll be impressed, when they get a keg in there. Or better yet, just have cold beer on tap, with your computer calculating when to shut off, after 16 oz and stuff

What a great idea! But what I want it to do is drop my VPN to work and stop me from emailing after after about 36oz ...

I don't need it to stop me posting to /. or anything like that.

not cold for long

If the site is running on that machine, that beer will be boiling by now... Too bad it's gone down already.

What's the big deal?

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.

You think the beer computer case is good, you should see his PDA bong.

I`ll raise you a fridge in an SGI: http://home.planet.nl/~mourits/koelkast/

Actually that guy deserves his own frontpage story, but I already tried submitting it, no reaction...
