The G3 beer server

You know, we're all about repurposing old gear here at Engadget. And what better way to trick out your aging desktop system, really? Aesthetic, yet practical. We'll drink to that.

Sorry, I won't settle for anything less than a G5 to serve my beer.

wonder if they adapted a liquid cooling element in there?

and you can rack mount it :x

This reminds me of the "cup holder" joke.

Hypothetical byline: The free as in beer v.s. speech debate reaches a head.

Definitely 'better living through technology'... Needs the apple logo for a tap handle though.

Speaking of repurposing old material, isn't this picture like a year old already?

I wonder if this thing is incompatible with the majority of beers we drink.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 1:21AM]

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those things.

Yes, I went there.

I would prefer it to a hard APPLE cider keg instead of beer.

Someone in our group said it best when they said: "Finally, a good use for a MAC." I have to agree.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 1:21AM]

I would totally adapt that to be a liquid cooling system, but a) I wouldnt want to be drinking CPU-warmed beer and b) I wouldn't want my processor frying after my buddies decide to do a few funnels and kick the keg :P

iDrink to that!
