So I was looking around for a new case for my weenie PIII machine and came across this monster.

I think I need to have this. If only for the challenge of getting my girlfriend to accept a mini-fridge size computer in the living room.

Tiger has them fo $285.00 (Steel) and $317.00 (Aluminum).

A mini fridge is cheaper & keeps your beer cold.

Yeah a little pricey but there is some potential to do some prety cool things wit this box - like get my STB inside the case.

It also has a 7inch drive bay that can hold one of those retractable LCD screens made for cars.

Maybe your girlfriend would like a goldfish behind the window. Maybe integrated in a water-cooling-system. When it gets too hot the goldfish changes colorBig Grin .

With some of the nutso case mods I have seen I wouldn't be surprised if someone has one that. :p

the fishtank idea isn't a bad one. tropical fish like warm climates, if you used the right size tank for your pc, you could keep the fish warm and the pc cool at the same time.
