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."

    SBC stands for: Single Board Computer

    3.5" and 5.25" seem to be standard sizes.
    Of course, 3.5" doesn't really mean 3.5"

    The specs I looked at (first google result)say that the
    3.5" SBCs are actually 5.75" Length x 4" Width (146mm x 101.6mm)

    I bet it would fit just fine.

    But a breakable glass case? While it looks cool, no thanks...

    I've been meaning to put a fish in there for a while now.

    I'm assuming this is a joke, but juuuuussssssstttttt in case it would be a bit cruel to stuff even a Betta into anything less than 4 gallons. And a goldfish should not be put into any tank smaller than 10 gallons with an extra gallon for each additional fish. I can't stand the attitude of fish being disposable pets.

    A fish in a bottle would likely suffocate in a short time. Bottles taper towards the top, and so there is almost certainly not enough surface area to get enough oxygen into the water from the air.
