<p>This has got to be one of the more interesting PC case mods. The modder has managed to fit a humble Intel P3 733EB processor, a 3.5&#8243; SBC (single board computer) Socket370 mainboard, a 256MB notebook RAM, a 40GB hard drive, a 60W mini-ITX power supply unit, and an old VGA card cooler into a 1.5-liter Ballantine&#8217;s Scotch Whisky bottle! The <a href="http://www.metku.net/index.html?sect=view&#038;n=1&#038;path=mods/whiskypc/index_eng">guide</a> isn&#8217;t very detailed, but I guess it should be good enough for any experienced modders. The trickier bit of this mod is probably getting the holes properly cut, which the modder sought professional glass grinder man&#8217;s help.</p>
