Go to work in a bottle

A Hungarian technophile has invented a new method of recycling empty whisky bottles.

Janos Marton has created a personal computer inside an empty 1.5l Ballantine’s bottle.

Housed within the bottle there is a Pentium 3 processor, a 256MB notebook RAM, a 40GB notebook HDD and a 60W mini-ITX PSU.

It cost him around €470 to make and is a fully functioning mini personal computer.

More information on Janos’s invention along with pictures can be found at: www.metku.net
