Thermaltake MiniFridge Mod

Inventgeek transformed this otherwise normal looking computer tower into a fully functional mini fridge/soda dispenser. All it took was around 30 minutes of hacking and $200 in parts. Tools used include screwdrivers, pliers, knives, glues, and wire cutters. View all pics after the jump. [ShoutIt]

From the article: " This was a really fun project to do. I recently brought it fully loaded to a LAN party with a bunch of my fellow geeks. At first I let them guess at what it was. First impressions were that it was a water cooled computer. But when they saw that there was no mob installed through the IO shield they were all stumped. So I plugged it in and popped open the front and with a solid sounding 'Ka-Thunk' a Caffeinated cold one was waiting for all night consumption."

What's up with nerds and Mountain Dew? They seem to love the stuff, it's insane. Mountain Dew is not love, nerds... Mountain Dew is not love...

if you fit a pc in there with it, i'd be impressed. But not so much that it's just a empty case with two shelves and a hole. And who thinks mountain dew+geek anymore? it's Bawls+geek. Get with the times, sheesh.

i just though of a way to make this case like more egronomic. If you make it in an L shape, with a slanted bottom, you cna fit the computer in there too.

I can buy a mini fridge for less than $200. What a waste.

if there was a working computer in that case it would not be a fridge it would be more like a soda mirowave.

I have the parts lying around my house to build this, I think I might do it. I wouldn't pay the $200 for parts, but for spare parts and minimal effort, it's not bad.

Wait so how is it keeping them cold. All I see are 2 fans and a power supply. Am I missing something?
