PC in a bottle

Who would have thought that an empty whiskey bottle can be turned into a PC case? Well, over at Slashdot is a story of how Janos Marton was able to transform a whisky bottle into a PC case! A masterpiece I should say and practical at that.

Another story of an extreme PC experiment is the one by a group of researchers over at the THG lab in Munich. They wanted to build a quiet and cool PC minus the fans so they decided to submerge a PC in 8 gallons of cooking oil! Guess what. The system didn't short and they were able to achieve their objective of a noise-free and cool PC. The site includes a video of how the researchers were able to do this feat.

If you're using an optical mouse, someone has just found a new way to use it - as a scanner. By tinkering with his mouse and programming a source code, he was able to transform it into a black & white scanner. The source code is availabe for download and the bored student who made this possible is asking for feedback from those brave enough to try the experiment.
