Build a Home Server in a Whiskey Bottle [DIY]

Summary

Jason Marton was looking for a quieter, hidden home server. So, naturally, he built one into a whiskey bottle that blends in with his existing dry bar.

Over at hack weblog MetkuMods Jason Marton explains how he created a personal PC or home server inside of a discarded and (obviously) empty whiskey bottle. Although it isn't the first thing one might think of, we have to applaud the creativity and problem solving skills that went into the modification.

The only part of the hack that needed a small amount of professional help was from a glass cutter. After a few failed attempts to use at home tools, he took it in to a local professional to have the holes drilled and cleaned up. Here's the rest of the materials Jason used for his 2006 hack (you can update accordingly), and you can pick up the assembly details over at MetkuMods:
