This is one of the funkiest casemods I’ve seen-- I really like it, cheesy lighting and all.
My only problem is that the idea, insane though it is, hasn’t been taken nearly far enough. I want one with a cheesy ActiveHome card, so I can use batch scripting to have it start the coffee automatically in the morning. Hell-- It’d be fun to take an old 486 and make a Dedicated Coffee Server, sitting there on the network. Appropriate switches installed so that it could run an SQL server that would let anyone in the house know if there’s coffee ready, how long it’s been since it was brewed, etc.
