Coffepot Computer 234
marshman113 submitted quite possibly the most important innovation in case design since the internal hard drive: here is a coffee pot computer. Yes this guy actually integrated two of the greatest innovations of mankind into one convenient case!

But then, after thinking about it for a second, I can see where you're coming from. I personally don't like drip coffee. Even the good stuff isn't that good (and the SWILL they serve at the so-called "popular coffee shops" out here? HA!) I'm an espresso man. The thicker the better. Of course, it takes a hardcore caffiene freak to like it straight, but it's the perfect drink to mix with other things. A bit of brown sugar, milk, cream, a double shot of espresso over ice, and you've got the ideal summer drink. Double shot with milk. .
So discern when you insult the name of Coffee. Knocking drip stuff is fine, or the crappuccino that they try to pass off at places like Tim Horton's or 7-11. Just be careful about what you say about espresso. It is that good.

No, thats the Apple version. With the Microsoft one you can get any choice of coffee whatsoever. However if you choose pure Java, it will add misc molecules which do not belong there. Or if you choose anything at all the coffee pot will break before the coffees finished.

We got these cool computers at school which had this cool thing called html... then I found things like telnet and wow! (before then I had only used lame AOL at my friends house-it was fun, but not functional)
Then I could finger coke machines and it was great... I knew we had to get on the internet at home! Of course then it didn't take long to browse all Yahoo! had to offer and I was on-line at a blazing 9600 baud.
Connected devices have always been my favorite things, and it's what I've used to this day to get people excited about the internet.
