We know what we're bringing to our next LAN party...

[Via Slashdot, thanks Midget]

Yesss... At last a mod with a touch of class.

[3nglish @ Feb 5th 2006 7:45PM]

But can it actually hold alchohol?

[Jesse @ Feb 5th 2006 7:52PM]

@3nglish
A new type of "water" cooling huh?

Seeing such a small motherboard gives me tons ideas. You could fit something of that size into plenty of interesting things.

[lolersticks @ Feb 5th 2006 8:08PM]

Can it actually hold alcohol? No, but if it were sealed, it could theoretically hold pure alcohol.

Pure alcohol = non ionized

[mkh @ Feb 5th 2006 8:30PM]

So you're saying it can't hold its liquor?

[Yusuke Iwakawa @ Feb 5th 2006 8:34PM]

This is the greatest computer made. How did they do it???

[Mark @ Feb 5th 2006 8:44PM]

Gives computer addiction a whole new meaning.

[ScottE @ Feb 5th 2006 8:49PM]

But Can it play a Doom Emulation?

[Josh Lankford @ Feb 5th 2006 8:55PM]

what miniatx mobo is that small?

[nizzy1115 @ Feb 5th 2006 9:52PM]

it has to be from a laptop...look at the way the plugs are and look at the laptop power supply next to it. Actually after thinking about it, my dell x300 motherboard would fit perfect in someting like that...but why would i ruin it...

[tjc @ Feb 5th 2006 9:56PM]

It's obviously the Seagram's Seven [megahertz, that is]

[Zverg @ Feb 5th 2006 11:36PM]

well good thing it has it's RS-232 port. Never know when you'll need to hook up a null modem cable. Even my IBM thinkpad doesn't have that port (well .. ok I do have a parallel port :( )

[antow @ Feb 6th 2006 12:50AM]

I think it only a big whiskey, cannot hold alcohol..btw great pc .. good job!

[sogiholics @ Feb 6th 2006 1:42AM]

i think, Dr. PC didnt like this..

[TopBoy @ Feb 6th 2006 2:00AM]

Yes,it must be from a laptop

[imageburn13 @ Feb 6th 2006 2:15AM]

computing with your hand on that, and your instantly hunter thompson. cheers are in order!
/a touch of glass?

[Matt G @ Feb 6th 2006 2:26AM]

Cool idea. I've seen some crazy ones before, there's a whole website full but i forget the URL... Lego PC, suitecase, etc.

[Gym @ Feb 6th 2006 2:57AM]

Wow, is really mado of glass?

[mollie thompson @ Feb 6th 2006 3:43AM]

you guys, its a new atx form factor it measures like 170x170mm its call mini-itx

[ken fager @ Feb 6th 2006 3:45AM]

Computers = information networking tool
Booze = social networking tool

It only makes sense that as Americans we would combine the two and make things easier.

[Alan @ Feb 6th 2006 3:53AM]

Nice build!

[strick @ Feb 6th 2006 7:35AM]

I don't know if any of you notice this, but that is a laptop motherboard in there. This is a great idea, but it could be pretty expensive for a fast gaming computer.

[Jesse @ Feb 6th 2006 9:57AM]

@nizzy1115

Uh, no. If you read the article it tells you its a 3.5" SBC motherboard.

[Pinkerton @ Feb 6th 2006 10:17AM]

So, can you fill it with peanut oil for cooling?

[Rob @ Feb 6th 2006 1:15PM]

Ballentines is hardly a touch of class. The whiskey needs to be a single malt. But then, it would be a Mac!

[crazykitty @ Feb 6th 2006 5:52PM]

Great idea!

[Gary Hussey @ Mar 17th 2006 4:41PM]

It's the motherboard out of a laptop, the power cable gives it away.

[Scott Harris @ Apr 17th 2007 9:06PM]

Gary? Did you ever serve in the US Army?

[C. Rivers @ Mar 25th 2006 6:02PM]

With that computer you can really get wired!

[Scott Harris @ Apr 17th 2007 9:05PM]

Gary. Did you serve in Operation Desert Shield/Storm? Were you in the Army?
