Nvidia Shows Off Gaming PC That's a Keg of Beer

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

It's a keg from the Sierra Nevada Brewing company!

The Consumer Electronics Show that's going on right now is all about the latest gadgets plus new ones that will be hitting stores later this year. Along with all that are a good number of social parties that blend business with pleasure. Nvidia, however, has finally found a way to bring both together in a very cool case mod.

It's called the "kegputer" and it combines a beer keg with a full functioning gaming PC. It's something that Nvidia was showing off to early show-goers and we got an early eyes-on at a pre-show event.

Check out the early pictures that we snapped from Nvidia:

Want to know what's inside? Besides BEER, it's made from an Intel Core i7-2600

Asus Sandy Bridge motherboard, Corsair SSD, 12GB of RAM, and two GeForce GTX 580 in SLI. Oh, and there's room to hold 40 servings of beer.

There's a vapor chamber cooling system… but that's for the brew! Stay tuned as we'll be checking it out when the tap is running.

Want!

And for those who want it in a stylish version, Apple will soon release a competing device filled with cheap wine, packed in an elegant aluminium cask. Pick up your iBrew for only $1999,99! Additional casks of Château Apple Coûte Cher are available from $200 a piece. Of course, this magical device will change computing once more, thanks to its mildy dated graphics card and CPU that are presented as the best of the best.

for slow gaming you can consume some coolant, once the machine gets too hot, you have to fill it up (vicious circle)
