Really great gadget - Whiskey PC

Posted in Funny, Computers on February 7th, 2006

The one described below is really great! Can you imagine PC in a whiskey bottle?

The “Whiskey PC” author writes: “I already had a powerful computer setup so I wanted something more quiet, small and low power consumptioning to function as a basic home server. I love to tinker with hardware etc. so I wanted to make something quite unique for a case. I have seen many nice and creative cases before but none of them were made out of a bottle. In November I bought an industrial 3.5″ SBC board (with Socket370). For the project I selected a 1.5 litre Ballantine’s bottle for case. That was the proper size and shape for the task at hand.”
