Comments:Time, we know, is relative. You can travel light years through the stars and back, and if you do it at the speed of light then, when you return, you may have aged mere seconds while your twin brother or sister will have aged twenty, thirty, forty or however many years it is, depending on how far you traveled. This will come to you as a profound shock, particularly if you didn't know you had a twin brother or sister. (Douglas Adams)

Comments: FANTASTIC FRIDGE !!!
FANTASTIC WEBSITE !!!

It would have been a nice touch to make the LEDs truely functional, say, to verify that the fridge light is truely off when the door is closed. :)
Or really flash when the beer is low. :) And maybe some sirens!
Of course, the truely modern fridge connects to the internet and orders the beer for you. (LG) TRUELY.

- 1 - less important - how to get a professional look
- 2 - where accessing f.i. an fdd or a cd-rom and where place to exits f.i. for net connection, modem connection etc
How did you handle these problems ? !
I am rather puzzled to know your comments, My name is Carlo Terrile . Best regards !

an IBM RS/6000, model H50: if they junk this beauty, I want
to turn it into a huge fridge. Later, when I became the
admin of a cluster of 3 HP9000's, model K580, I even thought
of building a toilet in them, after their economic lives
were over :) Too bad I still haven't had the chance to get
my hands on such a piece of equipment...

But you missed out on the real "challenge" -- Get a Challenge XL and put a REAL beer-server in it. The Challenge series was originally supposed to be called Axys but some folks who had survived WWII saved us from that misfortunate name. I particularly like the Challenge monikers: S, M, L, XL -- and DM for the Digital Media (Medium size). If you clustered a bunch of XL's together we should have called it XXL and XXXXXL but with 128 of the puppies in one room you couldn't hear yourself anyways. :)

Since it never worked for shit anyways, getting rained on was no big deal. I think we could make it into a good microwave oven case, expecially if we could make use of the "ping" sound when the timer goes off. If the ceiling leaks again, just microwave the water off.

Buy yourself a digital thermometer with some intelligence and place the sensor inside the fridge. Decide on an optimal temperature for keeping beer cold and have the green LED come on when the fridge is within the specified range. You could have the red one come one when it wasn't. Have fun! j.

Well, it was either that or find another one and make desk pedestals out of them or something. At the moment it's just a glorified desk extension and plant support. Now we know the nitty gritty of how to 'fridge' our Crimson, I think we could be on again... Great page... Regards, SB

Comments: Cool: ./ this ! From the last picture I see the machine is not yet in production. What is delaying it? Maybe a security check? In order to do that, root acces on the console of the machine while it is in production is needed :-)

Comments: Ik voel dat deze koelkast naar Hyde Park moet! Alwaar de illustere Dick M. op zijn dua (?) staat en het eind der tijden profeteert nu computers worden omgebouwd tot koelkasten. Onderwijl zal Elena S., in het blauw gekleed, zo nu en dan de deur van zijn zeepkist openen en ingestraalde wodka aan de man proberen te brengen. Het worden glorieuze tijden, waarin het een lust is om te leven!!

Comments: AAAAF wat een heerlijke gedachte dat de machine waar ik jaren van mijn leven op heb mogen werken niet zomaar is afgedankt. Al deze jaren heb ik er over gewaakt, alsof het mijn eigen kind was, gewapend met semascript, laptop en mobiel. Zoek je nog iemand voor de waakdienst voor de beer server? Je moet dit verhaal naar SGI sturen man. Dat ding is geld waard. Ik wil hem anders ook wel ....eh...hoewel $175.000 - $60.000=$115.000 ....nee laat maar. Cu Rob
