new meaning to the term a fast computer

The_Caffeine_Machine

Basically, it's a fully functioning coffee maker integrated into a computer case. You pour the water into the funnel at the top, it goes down the tube into a book-shaped water tank where it sits until you hit the power switch, at which point the heating coil boils the water, sending it back up another tube and into the coffee grounds basket. The switch can also be controlled using an RF keychain remote. Other mods include: custom-cut window which was then hand-etched to a coffee cup motif, custom-build LED arrays to provide exactly the right shade of red light, stereo VU meter in the front panel indicator section, additional hot plate on top for two pots of coffee at once, and the white, kitchen appliance paint job.
