Creative use for empty whiskey bottles
Japala writes "You might have seen computers built inside of toasters, radios, garden lamps etc. As motherboards keep getting smaller and smaller the possibilites on where you can embed then increases. As it turns out, you can get them to fit inside an empty glass bottle. Whisky PC for a whiskey lover that needs a small and silent server."
So basically you get to drink a bottle of whiskey before building your computer. Does that sound like a good idea to anyone else?
I fill them up with more whiskey (and then empty them again).
I thought they were going to try and rollup the motherboard and unfurl the memorysticks and processor once inside.
Instead they just cut a hole in it.

Because, as we all know, a noisy server can exacerbate a throbbing hangover ...
Put a fish in it :O)
I've got an empty 1.75 liter bottle of Jack Daniels that one of my alky loving friends gave to me. I've been meaning to put a fish in there for a while now.

o0t!
They should have done it ship-in-a-bottle style.
Can anyone tell me how to set my sig on Slashdot?
A chip in a bottle!
Would that make it a bar tender?
No...! Nothing less than Single Malt is good enough for my computer. Make that a cask.
I like the concept, but cutting holes for fans was cheap. Everyone knows that whiskey bottles belong in the fridge.
For a small fee, I will drink the whiskey for you... giving you a perfectly usable emptpy bottle! You may then mod to your hearts content!
Just like driving a car:
(D) to go forward
(R) to go backward
aah, now i know why windows is acting drunk..
Unless you forget to clean out all the remaining alcohol...
How do you think he keeps his son quiet at night?
Fill the bottles to different levels, form a band, and recreate Windows theme sounds.
While your at it, rebrand Windows Vista:
"Windows Redneck" with the slogan "You ain't ever seed Windows this clean(tm)"
"Windows Whiskey" with the slogan "Computing, soo you cann drinnk at the sssspeed of your buss, busi, work.(tm)"
Proof by very large bribes. QED.
It's not a true whiskey-computer till that sucker's whiskey-cooled!
Remember kids, with great power comes great opportunity to abuse that power
Next step: Wrapping a flask around a mouse.
If you're that worried about dropping your computer hard enough to break the glass, then perhaps you should lay off the wiskey. :)
"I tried to cut and drill couple of similar bottles at home but I realized that my tools are not good enough for it, then finaly a professional glass grinder man prepared the whisky bottle for me."
Right. Your inability to cut holes in the bottle couldn't possibly have had anything to do with your method of emptying the bottle, could it?
Flambe!!!

AP News (12:44pm - EST) - Tragic Death of Geek
Tragically a young geek lost his (albeit lonely) life last night after starting a fire in his room of his parent's house. It would seem that the young and impetuous geek decided after reading an article on the technology news website "Slashdot," that building a computer out of a used whiskey bottle would be a good idea. However, upon emptying the bottle (and his bladder several times), the poor geek forgot to wash the bottle out and promptly started a fire the moment he turned his new "Whiskey PC" on and sadly, perished in the blaze.
Memorial services will be held in your MMORPG of choice in that "one zone."
well, it is certainly more portable
Make sure you keep it in a paper bag, though.

You can hold down the "B" button for continuous firing.
He should probably patent or trademark the design, or whatever. Otherwise, I could see someone at Apple snapping it up for the next iMac.
