towers

[tremmor]

I was going to build my wife a computer. I have a friend that is an intel rep.
His tower has fish in the side of the glass. He said it was a demo and cannot find them retail. I think this is a woman thing. anybody seen these towers in there travels?

Do you mean a computer case that has fish swimming inside? I've never seen any pre-built thing like that, although i've seen a few custom ones.

yeau.....ive seen a couple of them.

I would'nt want one but thats actually a pretty cool idea. Why not do it yourself since your buiding a computor already?

Would the fish even live in them conditions?

Pfft...tetras Wanna impress me...drop a Gar in that thing

Seriously though, It's novel, but 'what if' it ever sprung a leak? All that time, energy, and money flushed away. I'm sure it would be a conversation-starter at parties though! Come to think of it, a conversation-ender, too, if you have one of those all-knowing 'look-at-me-I'm-so-cool' computer guys. "Really, Jim, you have a Octo-core CPU running at 5 Ghz...hey, btw, check this out..."

BTW, that link was old! Look at the parts list and how much was paid for them! Also, for such a big project, and to ultimately base a web page around it, why lacking in the 'construction' area...8 or so pics? Not calling BS, but something struck me as (dare I say it...) fishy... <ducks>

Yessssss gar pikes are fierce I used to keep those. Now I have freshwater cudas. Very cool to watch them feed too, they stalk there prey ever so slowly, get it in strike range and them WHAM! So fast you can miss it if you blink lol

I love watching them eat! I mostly do live, but I can hand-feed then krill, too

That is so weird. I just saw one of these towers last week when I was in New York City and I was fascinated with it.
