Just posted this as news, but since some of you are lazy :p
With more and more people buying computer cases with windows, cold cathodes, bay buses, even custom paint jobs, the truly hardcore case modders are quickly finding themselves having to search harder and harder for an original case mod. Everyone has done black cases with blue lights. Everyone has installed case windows, cut blowholes, and maybe even installed a baybus. The modding community needs fresh, new ideas, and I believe I may have one.
This idea came me one day when I realized 1) I drink a lot of coffee and 2) I spend a lot of time at the computer. I'd already gone through several coffee pots when it suddenly struck me: why not integrate a coffee maker into a computer case and get the best of both worlds? Thus began the search for The Caffeine Machine.

well i had this idea a while ago...its for heating and cooling down cokes:)
wot i was/still may do is have a peltier, with a fan blowing over a heatsink inside a box inside ur case. Then u have a switch to flick over the terminals on the pelt so it can either heat up, or cool down. I dunno how well it would work, but it would be phat being able to freeze a coke real fast, or boiling a cup of coffee in a few seconds...

It shouldn't be a problem if he's water cooling. Especially if he combines that with decent ventilation.

hmmmmmmm......
*ideas*
where to stick that big container of coke in a case......
Well if you had a kick ass phase change system you could probably put a small container under the HDD bay thing that should be able to hold a few cans of coke...... if you had a kick ass phase change system that is :rolleyes:
