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?

      My last computer build started at 3am after coming back from the bars completely hammered. I was completely wasted. In the morning, everything still worked except one case fan was backwards.

    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.

    They cheated! They cut a hole in the side of the bottle.

    They should have done it ship-in-a-bottle style.

    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?
