Mods in the BYOC
There were a few eye-catching modded PCs in the BYOC area this past weekend, including the "Refridga-hater," which is pretty much self-explanatory. And well-stocked with Bawls.

This next setup was created by a guy who works for AMD. It's his take on the submerged system:

He used an oil that he purchased from the U.K. to fill the aquarium. It is, of course, not electrically conductive. Inside are a pair of pumps to keep the oil flowing, and on top is a peltier cooler, chilling the oil.
Finally, we have the lastest from Josh, aka ZapWizard, who has created a string of eye-catching and nicely finished mods.


Josh used some sort of exotic African wood to create the front face of this modded Shuttle box and, as you can see, he put the same wood finish on the matching keyboard and separate numeric keypad. There's a semi-matching mousepad, too, but I didn't get a good picture of it. The three "buttons" up front are for power, reset, and optical drive eject. These buttons are actually solid state; they don't move, and the surface above them is completely smooth. Very slick.
