Whisky PC

Janos Marton:  I already had a powerful computer setup so I wanted something more
quiet, small and low power consumptioning to function as a basic home
server. I love to tinker with hardware etc. so I wanted to make something
quite unique for a case.

I have seen many nice and creative cases before
but none of them were made out of a bottle. In November I bought an
industrial 3.5" SBC board (with Socket370). For the project I selected a
1.5 litre Ballantine’s bottle for case. That was the proper size and shape
for the task at hand.

Prepping the bottle


Cut

I tried to cut and drill couple of similar bottles at home but I
realized that my tools are not good enough for it, then finaly a
professional glass grinder man prepared the whisky bottle for me. He
made two holes: one at the back of the bottle for CPU cooling and one
at left side for put in the stuffing.
