I just got this for my birthday. Now i never have to leave my pc to get a drink. It has a very 50's car style with the chrome and the curves. I got the blue one.

groovy -- looks like a CD-R would just about fit in that top bay, with room for floppy and two HDs below.

is it ATX? heh heh (j/k)

**bahocale** · 01-05-2003, 12:54 PM

If it ever dies on me, I could always get a mini atx mobo and make a pc out of it. It already has a cooling fan on the back. LOL

**Harbinger** · 01-05-2003, 05:05 PM

me like, very slick. Now all yyou need is a tube from inside a mountain dew keg in a fridge to your desk and you will be set for days at a time!

Woah, you could put a whole six pack of be.. coke in there!!!

hehe, yeah, from tommy boy and sorry to those of you who already saw this joke in another thread

**Frogmire** · 01-06-2003, 01:11 AM

Hey, I was thinking about buying one of those, hehe, ATI makes one with the ATI logo plastered all over it. But I'm wondering how it keeps stuff cold or hot? Is there a temperature control or something? What's the max temps on that thing? Or is it just super insulated so whatever you keep in there stays around the temp it should be?

**bahocale** · 01-06-2003, 04:29 PM

There is a switch on the top that you can either turn hot, cold, or off. Nothing fancy about it. They're is a fan in the back of it. It took about 2-3hrs to get at 42 degrees. Not really sure how it cools or heats, but who cares it keeps me from getting up to get a drink.

**serotone9** · 01-06-2003, 04:42 PM

it cools by peltier, which was the joke, as that method can be used to cool PCs.

Oh... cool. Thanks, I think I will get one!

You can find them at a sharper image store, but circuit city also has a small sharper image section that has it also.

**Kamakazie** · 01-07-2003, 12:48 AM

I got something similar from Target

Works very nicely

**Farmer_BOB** · 01-07-2003, 12:50 AM

Now if only Sharper Image could create one of those Homer Simpson couches.

**Kamakazie** · 01-07-2003, 01:43 AM

It needs to be Lay-Z-Boy that makes it, and it MUST include the toilet

**THESANTINI** · 01-07-2003, 01:16 PM

what a waste of electricity, probably costs like $10/mo to run. Bad bad bad for the environment.

**bahocale** · 01-07-2003, 04:23 PM

THESANTINI,

It only has a 80mm fan and i don't think that takes much power.

**BoogyMan** · 01-07-2003, 06:44 PM

Sorry, but I'd need a fullsize model...
