An anonymous reader writes that "This bloke has turned a George Foreman Grill into a webserver using what looks like a mini-itx pc. This really does bring a new meaning to the Lean Mean FAT grilling machine!" This is actually a pretty clean looking design. Very well done.

I once used a 386 server as a grill by 91degrees · 2005-01-11 05:48 · Score: 3, Interesting

Actually it was a barbecue. Found the server in a skip. Threw out the motherboard. Took the (full height!) hard disk drive out. Filled with charcoal and lit up.

Not a lot else I could do with it. I supose an AT case could still have been useful in 1999, but a 386 was a little outdated even for a desktop machine.
